Oxygen problem manageable in Kalaburagi, says Jyothsna
The Hindu
DC says this has been possible due to streamlining of supply of liquid medical oxygen
Kalaburagi district that had faced severe medical oxygen crunch a few days ago is now able to manage the problem after the supply of liquid medical oxygen has been streamlined, said Deputy Commissioner Vijaya Jyothsna. “Now the oxygen problem is under complete control. After the supply of liquid medical oxygen is streamlined, the district has enough for the available oxygen beds. Earlier, two cryogenic oxygen tankers were deployed to supply the liquid medical oxygen. Now, one more has been added. These supplies, along with the locally generated oxygen, brought the problem under control,” Ms. Jyothsna told presspersons during her weekly interaction with journalists at her office here on Saturday. When asked about the bed availability, the officer said that 583 beds, including 81 with oxygen, were unoccupied and available for the new patients at the moment.More Related News
