Sonu Sood Expresses Grief Over COVID-19 Patient's Death Whom He Had Got Airlifted To Hyderabad

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, actor Sonu Sood has emerged to be nothing less than a superhero with his philanthropy work. Last year, the Dabangg actor won hearts when he made sure that the migrant workers reach their hometowns safely during the COVID-19 crisis. Now, Sonu and his team are working relentlessly to help those facing the brunt of the second wave of the pandemic.

From helping people in availing oxygen cylinders, ICU beds, medical facilities to providing them with food and shelter, the actor has been doing it all. Recently, Sonu had helped in getting a critically ill COVID-19 airlifted in an air ambulance from Nagpur to Hyderabad. Further, he had got her accommodated in Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad when he came to know that she needed special treatment called ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation).
