Amitabh Bachchan helps out with 50 oxygen concentrators from Poland amidst Covid crisis, donates ventilators to BMC

Actor Amitabh Bachchan has said that he has bought 50 oxygen concentrators from Poland ‘in our hour of need’. In his latest blog post, he wrote that oxygen concentrators have also been ordered from another source, mentioning that ‘about 60 of them should be coming in in a few days’.

On Thursday, he wrote in his blog, “The general call from the places that were in need of help had been for the urgent need of Oxygen Concentrators. These are and were difficult to procure and when I was not getting any immediate source to acquire them my friend and the Indian Consul in Wroclaw stepped forward…came out with the name and details of a Polish Company that was making them…I immediately placed an order for 50 Oxygen Concentrators…”

He further wrote, “So I have bought 50 concentrators and they shall be shipped out on the 15th of May. My gratitude that I have mentioned above is to all , in getting LOT Polish Airlines , that is delivering the equipment, to waive the freight charges as a gesture of helping us in our hour of need…in a few days I shall be buying another 50 hopefully of the 10 litre ones and donate them to a Hospital with proper medical care.” Big B has a special relationship with the country Poland and especially Wroclaw, a city that had honoured his late father eminent Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
