In his appeal for contribution, he said that we all can make a difference by ensuring as many ‘oxygen concentrators’ to hospitals as quickly as possible
Scotland’s response to the COVID-19 crisis in India Published:
Part of:
More than 100 ventilators and medical equipment donated.
Scotland is sending life-saving oxygen and ventilation equipment to India as part of a UK-wide effort to support it in its fight against coronavirus (COVID-19).
Following an initial offer of various types of equipment, the Indian High Commission has accepted 100 oxygen concentrators and 40 continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilators.
The Indian Government urgently requires these units as its healthcare system is under extreme pressure. The devices can be used in hospitals, ICU wards or other locations and are ideally suited to treat COVID-19 patients when there are constraints on medical gas infrastructure supply.
