Ramp up facilities for children in anticipation of third wave: CM
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday directed officials to make COVID-19 hospitals with more than 50 beds self-sufficient in terms of oxygen stock, in the next four months. Addressing a review meeting on the pandemic situation, Mr. Jagan said the move was important in the wake of predictions that the State’s oxygen requirement would increase in the days to come and the imminent threat of the third wave, which could target children. Calling for a dedicated oxygen generator in every hospital, Mr. Jagan said the hospitals should produce oxygen at least to the extent of meeting their own requirements.More Related News
