Union Minister says plans in place to make available 200 crore vaccine doses
Union Minister of State for Home G. Kishan Reddy on Friday underscored the need for the government and the private sector to join hands to tackle the current pandemic ravaging the country. “We have a huge population and limited healthcare facilities unlike the advanced nations of United States or Europe. This is the reality, therefore, we need to join forces to control this health crisis,” he said, during a visit to the free COVID treatment facility at the Durgabhai Deshmukh Hospital in Vidyanagar on Friday. The facility is being run with the help of Seva Bharati and Sakhsham with help of sponsors from May 20 with 64 of the 87 patients admitted already discharged. The Minister claimed that the Centre has managed to solve the oxygen crisis within a fortnight and more oxygen plants are being set up across the country, including those already established at Gandhi Hospital and TIMS here.More Related News
