Mosque opens its doors to post-COVID patients

Free services offered on daycare, in-patient basis; out-patient facility to begin soon

People who have recovered from COVID-19 and are still battling health issues can look at Masjid Muhammadi in Rajendranagar here. The mosque is now offering free post-COVID services as most patients who require long term care are already financially and emotionally exhausted, said Mujtaba Hasan Askari of the Helping Hand Foundation (HHF). HHF along with Rotary Club of Hyderabad Deccan and SEED USA have set up a 40-bedd isolation facility at the mosque. They have received oxygen concentrators, oxygen cylinders, and other medical resources in donation. Since coronavirus cases are on the downward slide and current patients are able to find admission at government hospitals easily, the medical resources are being used to attend post-COVID patients. Apart from attending to issues such as breathlessness, fatigue, diarrhoea, body pains and other complications which need oxygen support, the facility will also offer physiotherapy, nutrition and medical management. Patients would be attended on daycare and in-patient basis.
