Deerfield-based Walgreens Boots Alliance is committing $350,000 to the American India Foundation (AIF) to help address the critical need for COVID-19-related resources during India's recent surge in cases and deaths.

The donation will help AIF deliver pulse oximeters - noninvasive devices that measure oxygen saturation - to rural health care workers across India.

"Throughout the pandemic, WBA has been committed to keeping communities safe and providing much-needed health care services, while also working to address barriers to access," said Rosalind Brewer, CEO of Walgreens Boots Alliance. "Our thoughts are with everyone in India right now, and we are proud to support the American India Foundation to deliver immediate and vital resources at this critical time."
