"Very happy to announce that the first set of my oxygen plants will be set up at Kurnool Government Hospital and one at District Hospital, Atmakur, Nellore, AP in the month of June! This would be followed by setting more plants in the other needy states! Time to support rural India," Sonu Sood tweeted.

Talking on the plant at Kurnool Government Hospital, the district collector S. Ramsundar Reddy IAS said, "We are really thankful to Sonu Sood for his humanitarian gesture. The oxygen plant arranged by him will help in treating 150 to 200 Covid patients at Kurnool Government Hospital every day."

Adding to that Sonu Sood said, "This is the need of the hour to improve the health care especially in the rural areas. I feel these plants will help the needy people to fight Covid-19 bravely. After Andhra Pradesh, we will be setting few more plants in few more other states between June and July. Right now, we are identifying the needy hospitals of various states."

This plant is sure to help thousands of people living in Kurnool and Nellore and the neighbouring villages by providing oxygen to them during these desperate times of Covid-19.
