The members were extending their services to patients irrespective of their caste, creed, and religion.

The organisation, according to Agarwal, would arrange concentrators and oxygen cylinders to others once it receives from those who used them. He said ten special doctor-members of the organisation were offering round-the-clock free online and phone consultations to patients. The Sangh was delivering medicines free of cost at patients' doorstep.

Commenting on plasma donation, he said the members have been motivating hundreds of survivors to donate. The Sangh has organised blood donation camps for the benefit of Covid victims. It was gathering information on vacant beds in all hospitals (government and private) and providing it to the needy.Agarwal said the members were not only giving advice to people on vaccine but also monitoring its administration.

Later, the HNS vice-president Purushotham Agarwal, secretary Ashok Kumar Singhal, joint secretary Vipin Singhania, treasurer Krishna Dalmiya, and a former president Ram Goel handed over oxygen concentrators/cylinders to the families of some Covid patients.
