Health Minister Anil Vij has said the Centre would help the state in building 60 oxygen plants in government hospitals, which have a capacity of 30, 50, 100 and 200 beds.
The Health Minister said this during his visit to the oxygen plant at the Civil Hospital in Ambala today.
Besides, oxygen production plants will be started in Panchkula, Faridabad and Hisar in a couple of days.
Six oxygen plants have already been installed in the state and production at oxygen plants in Karnal and Sonepat has already commenced.
“Efforts are being made to make government hospitals in the state self-reliant in terms of oxygen supply. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and other agencies are working in this regard,” Vij said.
The minister further said, “All private hospitals have been asked to set up oxygen production plants by changing rules as per their needs. This work should be done at the earliest. Some big hospitals can set up oxygen plants as per their scheduled time so that people do not have to face shortage.”
Two tankers of 1,000-litre capacity of liquid oxygen will be installed in the Civil Hospital and Ambala Cantt Hospital, Vij added.
