Consultant raises thousands for Covid-19 patients in India

A consultant at the Royal Derby Hospital has launched an appeal to raise £30,000 to buy medical equipment for Covid-19 patients in India.
Dr Rajeev Singh, a gastrointestinal specialist who moved to the UK from India in 1995, hopes his crowdfunding push will pay for 20 oxygen concentrators.
The machines can help patients who are recovering from the virus or whose condition is worsening to avoid them needing hospital treatment.
Copyright: University Hospitals of Derby and BurtonDr Singh said he had already lost family members to the outbreak and felt it was important to do something.
"I have had a few relatives who have sadly passed away in recent weeks as a result of Covid-19, so when my phone rings in the middle of the night, I do fear the worst news," he said.
The fundraising appeal was launched a week ago and has just passed £5,000.
He said: "I've never done anything like this before but working in the field of medicine, I didn't feel it was right for me to just stand by and do nothing.
"I rang some of my friends who are in Delhi and they said that some small machines that could be used by those that can't make it to hospital would be incredibly useful."
