After witnessing such unprecedented crisis and loss of life all around as well as going through a personal loss myself, I felt the need to step up to support our healthcare providers and frontline workers in their fight against this deadly virus. Through our initiative #Mission1000Beds, we are setting up COVID-19 critical care facilities at hospitals across the country to increase existing capacities.” “Supported by Accenture, we are extremely happy to extend our initiative to the state of Telangana, by setting up 120 critical care beds at Government Medical College & Hospital in Nizamabad.” In May 2021, Accenture announced a USD 25 million (approximately INR 185 crore) commitment for COVID-19 relief efforts in India.

As part of its overall commitment, Accenture had announced that it will invest in strengthening the healthcare infrastructure in the country, augmenting existing hospitals with beds and ICUs, and set up oxygen plants. The company is collaborating with a number of non-profit organizations including the YouWeCan Foundation to accomplish this. In addition, Accenture has been providing COVID-19 support kits and PPE kits to frontline healthcare workers and providing food and COVID-19 at-home care kits to the unemployed and poor. It has also been engaged with the government to support vaccination camps and provide local language call-center support.
