New Delhi: With Omicron cases rising gradually and the threat of a third Covid-19 wave looming, the Health Ministry today asked states and UTs to ensure uninterrupted supply of medical oxygen and its sufficient availability at the health facilities.
At a review meeting today, Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan told states to conduct mock drills of all installed and commissioned PSA plants to ensure these were in fully operational status, so that the oxygen with the required quantity, pressure and purity reached the intended patients at their bedside.
“These drills are to be completed by December end. The report to this effect is to be submitted to the Union Health Ministry through designated portals for live tracking and monitoring of the functional status of the equipment.
