We are taking several measures to secure the safety of our employees, business partners and their families against COVID and this insurance policy is a small but significant step in this direction.”
Moin Kazi, Director of Occupational Health Business of Wellspring Healthcare Pvt Ltd., which is Vedanta’s business partner in providing COVID treatment at its Jharsuguda plant said: “As Vedanta’s healthcare partner, we have deployed required infrastructure and staff to provide proper care and treatment to anyone affected by COVID.
