In a bid to shore up the rural health infrastructure and to prevent an oxygen deficit crisis in a possible third wave of COVID-19, the Pune rural administration has made medical oxygen generation plants operational at five sub-district hospitals (SDHs) in the district. Plans are afoot to make such plants functional in 24 other rural hospitals. The objective, according to Pune Zilla Parishad chief executive officer, would be to make all State-run hospitals in rural Pune self-sufficient in oxygen.More Related News
