Concentrator banks to ensure Delhi not run out of oxygen

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal intimated the installation of oxygen concentrator banks in every district with an aim to avail medical oxygen.

"From today, we are starting a very important service - we're setting up oxygen concentrator banks. In every district, there will be a bank with 200 oxygen concentrators. It has been seen that Covid patients often need to get admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) when they're not given medical oxygen when needed. Many patients sometimes die. We have set up these banks to fulfil their needs," said Kejriwal in a televised briefing.

"If any patient - in home isolation - needs medical oxygen, our teams will reach at their doorstep within two hours. One person - aware of the technical know-how- will be a part of the team to help the patient or families," he added.
