In a time when hospitals are facing a crisis due to an insufficient number of ventilators to treat the COVID-19 patients, many of the ventilators supplied to the government hospitals under the PM Cares fund are remaining idle due to technical problems, unavailability of ventilator connectors and tubings in Kannur and Kasaragod district. According to sources in the health department, the unavailability of ventilator connectors and tubing manufactured by a company has led to the issue. The Central oxygen supply has to be connected to the ventilator connector, which comes in cylindrical and hexagon shapes.More Related News
