Time was ticking away. In that panic situation, I first called up my Manager, Vishwas Agarwal, and he immediately took G.S. Raghu, our recently appointed Consultant for People and Enterprise Safety, on a con call. And then what followed was a well-oiled organizational response in quick successions. It was heartening to see everyone going above and beyond to extend all possible help.
Vasant, our colleague from HR in Ahmedabad immediately set up an online Teleservice call with a Covid doctor and the medication started. Simultaneously Chitra, Parth, Siddharth, and many others started calling and coordinated with FHPL, our official health partner. As a first step, they registered my mother's name in a few hospitals. Understandably, she was waitlisted. Simultaneously, as per the doctor's advice, my sister managed to get all the requisite medical tests done from the hospitalization point of view. At the same time, Suresh Babu, our colleague from Finance, arranged to send me the e-card of our health insurance that can be submitted to avail of hospitalization in our approved panel of hospitals.
As luck would have it, my mother got a bed in a hospital the next day. And her treatment started before the 'golden hour'. Thankfully, my mother has recovered and is now back home.
I don't have words to express my gratitude. But I must say HCCB is a family. In adversity, we show our unity.
