In a written communique to eight hospitals including Innocent Hearts Hospital, Sarvodya, Johal, Neuronova, Maan Medicity, Oxford, Caremax, and Ghai Hospital, Deputy Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori has called upon these establishments to emulate the move already adopted by various hospitals by installing their oxygen generation plants.
Divulging the details, the deputy commissioner stated that several hospitals including NHS, New Rubi, Shrimann Super Speciality, Tagore, Patel, PIMS, and Capitol hospitals have already installed oxygen generation plants in their premises. He added that the remaining hospitals should follow this initiative, which would enable these healthcare establishments to meet the requirement during the possible third wave, whenever it hits. It would also reduce dependency for O2 from the other states, he said.

The hospitals require more than 50 oxygen cylinders daily, should install their own plants he said.
