The dairy co-operative has set up an oxygen plant at Shree Krishna Hospital (SKH) at Karamsad in Anand.
The plant with a capacity of producing 20,000 litres per hour of oxygen and can serve 60 patients in a day was inaugurated by chairman Ramsinh Parmar.
SKH has been treating more than 500 Covid-19 patients and daily new 40-45 patients come for treatment at the hospital.
It has tied up with Linde Company to fulfil the need for medical liquid oxygen.
It has a facility of 6,000-litre oxygen tank to cope up with daily demand for oxygen and a 1,000 litre three small tanks to deal with the crisis.
But since the hospital is receiving less than the earlier allotted quota, it is facing difficulties when the tanker is stuck in a traffic jam.
The new facility will help to some extent to meet the enhanced requirement, hospital sources said.
Parmar said that Amul will establish more oxygen plants in Nadiad and Balasinor.
SKH is treating Covid patients from all over Gujarat.
