The Sathya Sai Service Organisation is assisting 95 families who have been affected by COVID-19 and they are also identifying more families who need assistance.

This has been confirmed by the Organisations Chairman Doctor Rajat Gyaneshwar who says this has been made possible as they have received assistance from their sister organisations in Australia and New Zealand.

He says these families are being provided with food packages.

Doctor Rajat says they know these families will be needing ongoing assistance as it is unclear how long the effects of COVID-19 will last.

The Chairman says that their nine centres around the country are identifying more families who may need assistance.

He says that they welcome anyone coming forward that would be able to help them in assisting the families who need urgent help.

Meanwhile, Doctor Rajat says at a time like this psychological issues and mental health stress is significant which is why they are planning to host a webinar for medical and nursing staff in the next two weeks.

He adds that they also want to organise a webinar from Australia and New Zealand for medical students so that they can have access to high-quality tuition.
