Liquid oxygen units to be established at all Government Hospitals: Minister

August 20, 2020

Bengaluru: “Liquid oxygen units would be established at all Government Hospitals and Medical College Hospitals and would be supplied as per the demand,” said Medical Education Minister Dr. Sudhakar. He was speaking after visiting KIMS Hospital, where he took stock of the availability of oxygen and facilities available for the patients on Tuesday.

Continuing, he said that as the number of COVID patients were increasing day-by-day, the demand for oxygen was also increasing and added that there was shortage of oxygen at KIMS Hospital and hence the patients were immediately shifted to Bowring and Victoria Hospitals.

“We are taking steps to set up oxygen plants at all Government Hospitals across the State. We are in contact with private firms which supply liquid oxygen. The Principal Secretary to the Industries Department is in touch with them,” the Minister said.

“There are some issues with supply of cylinders to hospitals. I have directed the officials to make necessary arrangements and ensure adequate supply of liquid oxygen to all Hospitals and Medical Colleges,” he added.
