“We have decided to give free of cost oxygen concentrators for Covid-19 patients who are in home isolation in Delhi as patients are in dire need of oxygen in government and private hospitals,” said Amarpreet Singh, director, Khalsa Aid Project (Asia Chapter).
Singh said they will be providing 65 oxygen concentrators in the first lot. He added that they will procure more oxygen concentrators in the coming weeks, taking the number to 100. To avail the service people would have to fill up a registration form. Patients with “low oxygen saturation levels” would be given priority. “A doctor’s prescription and a picture of oximeter readings will be needed besides other formalities,” Singh said.
