Officials told to ensure uninterrupted oxygen supply to hospitals
District Collector Vivek Yadav on Monday inspected a German Hanger facility set up at Agricultural Market Yard in Tenali and said the district administration was gearing up to set up similar facilities at GGH, Guntur, Infectious Diseases Hospital, Guntur, and Area Hospitals at Tenali and Narsaraopet.
“The district administration is scaling up facilities to ensure that lives of people are saved. We have 9,000 beds available in both government and private hospitals. Now, we are focussing on triaging, which can ensure beds are available to only serious cases. These German Hangers will be used in multiple ways, including triaging, step down ICUs and equipped with oxygen concentrators. We have also completed electrification and maintenance works,” Mr. Yadav said,
