A 1,000-litre capacity Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen-producing plant was commissioned at Tiruchi Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital on Thursday. The plant, which was funded through PM-CARES, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi through video conference mode.
The plant was set up at a cost of ₹1.75 crore. The apparatus itself cost ₹1.25 crore and civil works, including laying pipelines, were done by the Public Works Department for ₹ 50 lakh. The plant can supply oxygen to at least 500 beds and will help provide oxygen at 1,000 litres per minute to patients if the need arises. The hospital has two other PSA plants in smaller capacities.
