Incident response system to monitor oxygen supply on cards

For effective handling of emergency situations at hospitals treating COVID-19 patients

An incident response system exclusively to monitor supply of oxygen is on the cards in all districts to effectively handle emergency situations at various government and private hospitals treating COVID-19 patients. The model adopted by the Kozhikode district administration as part of its 18-point COVID-19 Surge Management Plan will be considered for implementation in the first phase. Under the supervision of the District Disaster Management Authorities, district-level oxygen availability assurance teams or district oxygen war rooms will be set up to manage critical situations. The war rooms will be in touch with nodal officers at hospitals to stay updated on oxygen availability.
