LUDHIANA: Amid the possibility of third Covid wave, three oxygen plants at government hospitals are expected to be ready in next 10 days. The district administration has also got approval for two more oxygen plants. During the second surge, it was challenging for the administration to meet the oxygen demand.
Raikot SDM Dr Himanshu Gupta, who is monitoring the setting up of oxygen plants in hospitals, said, “Three oxygen plants one each at Ludhiana civil hospital, Mother and Child Hospital (MCH), Vardhman, and sub-divisional hospital (SDH), Raikot are likely to be installed in 10 days. Two more oxygen plants have also been allotted for UCHC (community health centre) in Jawaddi and SDH, Khanna. We are hopeful of getting a plant allotted for government-operated Covid care centre at Rara Sahib through a donor.”
