There is no shortage of oxygen, beds and drugs, says L-G
Oxygen bed infrastructure in hospitals is being increased to cope with the increased demand from coronavirus patients requiring medical oxygen support, Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Thursday. Addressing the media after inspecting an oxygen production plant at the Government General Hospital, Ms. Soundararajan said oxygen beds would be arranged additionally in many makeshift hospitals. The plan is to upgrade small hospitals and improve the beds with oxygen. Private medical colleges have already allocated 300 beds each to the government. Currently, there are 100 more oxygen beds that have arranged with the help of the government. There is no shortage of oxygen, beds and drugs in the Union Territory, the Lt. Governor said.More Related News
