Aiding communities affected by the pandemic

Deloitte has confronted the COVID-19 pandemic as an organisation that strives to take care of its people, as a trusted adviser to clients, and as a corporate citizen committed to making an impact in the communities where we live and work. Around the globe, Deloitte firms and their people supported health care and humanitarian-response efforts aimed at recovering and rebuilding from this crisis.

At its peak, India witnessed more than 200,000 new cases daily, overwhelming its public health system. In response, Deloitte launched an innovative initiative called “Sanjeevani Pariyojana” (The Life Project) to “expand the hospital ward.” Developed by the state government of Haryana in collaboration with Deloitte, this suite of interventions provided those with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 symptoms the care they needed to recover at home. This helped to create capacity at hospitals to treat critical-need patients. Based on its success, the initiative was expanded to multiple districts across India and may be introduced in Africa.
