Reliance Foundation, Municipal Corp of Greater Mumbai to offer 3 lakh free jabs
Mumbai, Aug 02: In a bid to protect underprivileged people in Mumbai, the Reliance Foundation through 'Sir H N Reliance Foundation Hospital' will collaborate with Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) to provide three lakh COVID-19 vaccination doses to communities across 50 locations in Mumbai.
The vaccination drive aims to cover underprivileged people in neighbourhoods including Dharavi, Worli, Wadala, Colaba, Pratiksha Nagar, Kamatipura, Mankhurd, Chembur, Govandi and Bhandup.
"Sir H N Reliance Foundation Hospital is deploying a state-of-the-art mobile vehicle unit to conduct the vaccination drive across the selected locations of Mumbai, while MCGM and BEST will provide infrastructure and logistics support for the drive. This initiative builds on Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital's regular health outreach initiatives in Mumbai, which address primary and preventive healthcare needs of vulnerable populations through mobile medical vans and static medical units," the company said.
This vaccination programme will be carried out over the next three months and is part of Reliance Foundation's Mission Vaccine Suraksha initiative, which will also provide vaccination for underprivileged communities around the country over the next few months.
