Project Lifeline is an initiative of Round Table Nepal (RTN) under which they are providing the hospitals with life saving machines such as BiPAP and HFNC along with other medicines, which are necessary for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. RTN believes this will help save lot of lives during this pandemic.

A BiPAP is a form of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) therapy used to facilitate breathing. There is acute shortage of these machines in hospitals because of which a lot of lives are lost every day.

RTN is donating the machines after thorough research so that they can reach to the places that are really in need.

RTN has also initiated a Round Table Nepal Bank under which they are giving the BiPAP machines on free rental basis.

Once the pandemic is over they will take the machines back and hand it over to hospitals in remote areas.

The project was initiated on 20^th May 2021 and they have already distributed 25 machines worth approx. NPR 25, 00,000 in a week. The details are as following:
