Minister Yogesh Patel in a meeting with govt officials in Vadodara
Vadodara: The expansion of Covid-19 treatment facilities in Vadodara was put on hold due the rationalisation of oxygen being supplied to hospitals. As of now, the city will get oxygen only for the existing treatment infrastructure.
The administration on Friday kept the expansion of treatment facilities on GMERS Gotri Hospital on hold. On Saturday, minister of state for Narmada and urban housing Yogesh Patel said that no new hospital or Covid Care Centres will be given oxygen by the government.
On Saturday, Patel held a meeting with Vadodara’s top officials, officer on special duty for Covid-19 Vinod Rao and elected representatives. Later, Patel pointed out that the supply of oxygen to existing private and government Covid hospitals would continue uninterrupted. “The government will ensure that the existing system does not break down,” he said.
