Varun Dhawan has joined hands with Mission Oxygen India to help procure and donate oxygen concentrators to hospitals amid the raging second wave of coronavirus.

Sharing about his initiative, Varun took to his Twitter handle and wrote, “During uncertain times like these, our healthcare system needs utmost help. Since we know that oxygen is the need of the hour, I have contributed and partnered with @MissionOxygenIndia in their initiative to procure and donate life-saving oxygen concentrators to hospitals across the country. As a group of 30 something individuals who have managed to step up for the country in this time of need and raise over 21 crores for the procurement of 3900 OCs in under a week. I resonate deeply with their cause and urge everyone to help in whatever capacity possible.”
