Denpasar’s Mayor also shared that hospitals in Denpasar find it difficult to meet the demand for medical oxygen, critically needed in COVID patients. He has contacted the
Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster, and the
Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, to secure oxygen supplies. Pandjaitan has promised Jaya Negara that he will work to get additional oxygen supplies from Sulawesi.
On Thursday, 22 July 2021, the
Wangaya Hospital reported three days of remaining oxygen supplies while the
Balimed Hospital still has sufficient reserves for 14 days.
“The municipal administration of Denpasar is also intensely working together with the Provincial Health Service to disperse information on available supplies of oxygen,” said Jaya Negara.
