COVID-19 remains a health emergency and a deadly threat, especially to the most vulnerable. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been responding to the global pandemic since it began. MSF doctors and nurses are treating patients and supporting communities across Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia. New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV), in collaboration with the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), an independent medical organisation, has initiated a drive to help medical caregivers in their fight against coronavirus outbreak in the country.
