The Hindu
Donors urged to help improve medical facilities in the district
After the second wave of the pandemic, which brought to fore the lacuna in the healthcare system in the country, the district administration has decided to strengthen all the primary, community, area and district hospitals by ensuring a 24xs7 oxygen supply. Deputy District Medical and Health Officer (Dy. DM&HO) P. Ravi Raju told The Hindu that after a study of the dynamics of COVID infections in the district, the importance of equipping the primary health centres(PHCs) with oxygen concentrators was strongly felt. “As a large number of rural patients depend on the PHCs, we are contemplating on giving top priority to provide oxygen concentrators to these units. Already, a good number of donors, including the Telugu NRIs from the U.S., have come forward with the essential equipment for many centres,” Mr. Ravi Raju said.
