JAMMU, Apr 29: As hospitals across the country have been struggling with acute shortage of medical oxygen amid a raging second wave, the Jammu and Kashmir Government is doing all out efforts to set up medical oxygen general plants in several hospitals including new Government Medical Colleges (GMCs), District Hospitals and some Community Health Centres to avoid such a crisis in the UT.
Official sources told Excelsior that in line with the announcement made by Financial Commissioner Health and Medical Education Atal Dulloo last week that 36 new medical oxygen plants would be added to the existing system in the near future, 23 of such plants have already been set up and most of them made operational.
