It will coordinate procurement, distribution of medical gas
With the availability of medical oxygen emerging a major concern in COVID-19 care, the district administration on Wednesday launched measures to ensure sufficient stocks for supply to hospitals. An 'oxygen war room' has been opened at the district Collectorate to coordinate procurement and distribution of medical oxygen. The war room is designed as a 24-hour facility for monitoring oxygen availability across the district and ensuring prompt supply to hospitals, District Collector Navjot Khosa said. The auditorium of the Government Women's College, Vazhuthacaud, has been designated as the district-level collection centre for oxygen shipments. Industrial oxygen supplies sourced from various industrial units, including HLL Lifecare and Travancore Titanium Products Ltd (TTP) and also the Fire and Rescue Service, have been transferred to the collection point.
