Monitoring cells will be set up to prevent wastage, disruption: Alla
Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Health Alla Kali Krishna Srinivas has said that steps have been taken to increase the oxygen storage capacity from the existing 517 tonnes to 600 tonnes to ensure its timely supply to the hospitals. Monitoring cells were being set up in all the hospitals to prevent wastage of oxygen and disruptions in its supply, which had caused the death of many COVID-19 patients so far in the State, Mr. Srinivas told the media after a meeting of the Cabinet Sub-Committee on COVID-19 organised at the APIIC headquarters at Mangalagiri on Wednesday. The District Collectors had been instructed to get the condition of oxygen pipelines checked from time to time to avert leakages.More Related News
