Amid media reports that the southern neighbour, India, is struggling hard to manage sufficient oxygen for Covid-19 patients, there are concerns if Nepal will face the same situation.
Stakeholders and industrialists, however, say there is no need to worry as Nepal has already been producing more oxygen than what the country needs even when it reaches the peak of the Covid-19 spread.
However, there are some serious problems in the supply system, according to them.
“We are independent on oxygen production. Nepal should not worry if the government takes initiatives in managing new cylinders and stops hoarding them,” says Gaurav Sharda, Nepal Oxygen Industry Association.
