Karnataka is currently dealing with a COVID crisis, reporting over 40,000 cases every day. Every small attempt to help bring the number of infections down is a step to curb the spread of the virus. The KITES COVID Care Center aims to help those COVID-19 positive individuals with mild or no symptoms who do not have adequate home isolation facilities. The CCC will be open to individuals without comorbidities from 18 to 60 years of age.
Rajagopal G, Founder & CEO, KITES Senior Care said, “The second wave of COVID 19 has had a devastating effect on the country and its citizens. It is critical that we all come together to help each other in every way possible, so that we can tide over this challenging situation. The dire need of the hour is to strengthen the healthcare infrastructure so we can flatten the curve. This facility is an attempt to help patients with moderate symptoms to recover under the right medical guidance.”
Having treated over 4000 patients across its three centres in Bangalore, KITES Senior Care has received ‘Pre-Series A’ funding of Rs 4 crore and is looking at raising more capital to fund infrastructure expansion. The brand is also looking to expand across more cities in India by the end of the year.
