Duke Health Sends Supplies To India To Assist With Covid-19 Crisis

Hundreds of boxes of protective gear and equipment are now available to health care workers in New Delhi thanks to the quick, coordinated response of Duke Health faculty and staff. India has experienced a sharp spike in COVID-19 cases in the last few weeks, overwhelming the country’s health system.

When he first learned of the crisis, Madhav Swaminathan, M.D., professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at Duke, swiftly coordinated colleagues across Duke Health — in the departments of anesthesiology, perioperative services, pharmacy, surplus, supplies and more — to gather more than 150 boxes of equipment into two large shipments.
