Imtiaz Sooliman – Gift of the Givers Donate Oxygen Equipment to Hospitals

			I get a message from great way, a
private hospital, through a
		

			vascular surgeon, a friend of
mine, a member of my team. She
		

			says, Doc, as I walk through the
wards, every nurse stops me and
		

			says, Thank you for these
machines. These machines are now
		

			saving lives. A cardiologist from
the same hospital, came on the
		

			phone. He was sobbing. He couldn't
speak. He cut the call. He sent me
		

			a voice note. He says, here we've
been seeing so much of death and
		

			so much of dying. I can't believe
these machines have come. And for
		

			those people who given the
machines, you gave it for free,
		

			even to our private hospital, we
can't salute you enough and those
		

			people who made the machines and
gave it for free, thank everyone.
		

			We are saving lives now. And
that's the kind of sentiments
		

			coming from everywhere. It's every
hospital, public and private
		

			saying, You know what these
oxygens are. These machines are
		

			saving lives. We needed them a
long time ago.
		

			Thank you so much, doctor for
coming on the show and sharing
		

			such great feedback, because the
reality is, the status of the
		

			hospitals in our country in this
pandemic is scary, and those
		

			messages from the different
doctors about counting the number
		

			of dead bodies, but now how this
machine has helped them overcome
		

			those challenges is honestly
heartwarming. So to you and your
		

			team,
		

			sorry, one more point. I need to
make. One more point. Yes, sure.
		

			Go for it. A
		

			doctor from one of the hospitals
made the most amazing statement
		

			ever. You know, the nurses, the
doctors, have been demoralized. In
		

			the last few weeks. We've lost so
many healthcare workers in Durban
		

			alone. Three years ago, we lost
eight doctors in two days, you
		

			know, and what that kind of
sentiment? One of the doctors in
		

			Eastern Cape said, What is
machines, covid 19? You can come.
		

			We're ready for you. Oh, wow, Doc,
once again, we can't. Thank you
		

			enough. Thank you for your time in
the show and for being a part of
		

			what I feel is like a such a
welcomed invitation to trying to
		

			combat this covid 19 pandemic that
we're dealing with, and the timing
		

			is absolutely perfect. I think we
can't do without any more of
		

			these. So thank you so much, Doc,
		

			pleasure, thank you very much for
the invite.
		

			What an incredible that's such a
good story. I'm literally smiling
		

			thinking about how well this is
going to work in our country. Fact
		

			that it doesn't use electricity,
the fact that it's serving the
		

			nation covid 19, I think we're
ready to combat this. Yes, please.
		

			So please head on, head on over to
their website. Gift of the
		

			givers.org, that's gift of the
givers.org because I'm sure
		

			they're also experiencing some
shortcomings, and they do welcome
		

			public support as well. So make
sure to head on over to see the
		

			progress of this machines on their
website. But right now, it seems
		

			like we've hit the top of the
hour, exactly eight o'clock. It's
		

			time to have a look at the news
headlines. Yeah.
