At a time when the entire country is gasping for oxygen, Prana Air for Care – a project introduced in Thrissur Medical College Hospital to reach oxygen supply directly to in-patients beds, is drawing attention. Introduced sometime back with public participation, the project was aimed at providing oxygen for all in-patients. The project has high relevance especially in the time of widespread COVID-19. People who are ready to be part of the project can donate their share. Designed by the doctors in the hospital, the project has been implemented in 500 beds in six wards in the first stage. Each unit costs around ₹12,000. Doctors, voluntary organizations, patients and old-students have contributed to the project. The plan is to extend the oxygen supply to all the 1450 beds in the hospital.More Related News
