221 lives saved from Covid (and counting!)
Thanks to our incredible community of Help Peru supporters, 221 people recovered from COVID-19 at home from May to July.
In those 2.5 months, the 100 concentrators sent to Lima and Piura treated 240 patients at home. Only 26 of them required hospitalization. Unfortunately, 19 patients passed away. The concentrators are still being borrowed by Covid patients and keep helping people every day.
Teodoro is one of the patients who not only recovered, but can enjoy life with his family again – like many others!
