(Photo: PTI) The government has started dispatching Covid-19 relief material sent to India to various states and union territories. The Centre has termed this collaboration with the states and UTs as “Whole of Government” approach. Over the last 10 days, medical equipment, medicines, oxygen concentrators and ventilators were provided by many countries. However, questions were raised on why the supply of life-saving equipment such as oxygen concentrators, oxygen generators and ventilators were not started when hundreds of patients across the country died of oxygen shortage. Rebutting the allegations of delay, on Tuesday, the health ministry said relief material received from foreign countries, have been dispatched to states and UTs.
