Health Secretary J Radhakrishnan - The Hindu×
‘Consumption is 450 tonnes against installed capacity of 400 tonnes’ Tamil Nadu Health Secretary J Radhakrishnan on Thursday submitted a status report to the Madras High Court on medical oxygen, Covid-19 vaccination, beds availability and Remdesivir in line with the Court’s orders of May 5 on a
Suo Motu writ petition.
With increase in active cases and the adequate allocation to the State, the Centre has been addressed to release the revised central oxygen allocation plan which has taken into account the actual oxygen consumption of the State.
There is also an urgent need to rationalise the supplies as agreed to in the official level discussions so that logistically the State is able to efficiently utilise the production from Inox Sriperumbudur, which has been supplying medical oxygen to both government and private hospitals in Chennai.
