Daily medical oxygen stock increased to 1,000 tonnes, says Health Minister
Tamil Nadu has improved its daily medical oxygen stock to 1,000 tonnes as part of its preparedness for the third wave of COVID-19, Minister for Health and Family Welfare Ma. Subramanian said on Wednesday.
Mr. Subramanian told The Hindu the requirement for medical oxygen was a major problem that the Health Department faced during the peak of the second wave in Tamil Nadu.
“Our daily medical oxygen stock was 230 tonnes during crucial times of the second wave, which we now have increased to 1,000 tonnes. The requirement went up to 530 tonnes a day during the peak of the second wave. With our capacity expanded to 1,000 tonnes, we do not anticipate a shortage if a third wave comes,” he said.
