The new plant at the district Covid-19 hospital will have a capacity of 13000 liters. Once it becomes operational 300 oxygen beds can be supplied with oxygen continuously for 15 days.
One of the major concerns reported at several states and a few parts of the state recently is the shortage in oxygen supply for Covid-19 patients.
The shortage has been attributed to several reasons including unavailability of sufficient tankers. To enough oxygen supply to Covid-19 hospitals, liquid oxygen plants are coming up in all districts.
In Mandya two such small plants are proposed in the taluk hospitals at Srirangapatan and KR Pet. District Health Officer Dr. HP Manchegowda stated that ‘’now we are planning to set up two small plants in Srirangapatna and KR Pet taulks hospital’’.
In the neighboring Kodagu district a new liquid oxygen plant is expected to be available for use soon. DC Annies Kanmani Joy stated that ‘’by October 10 it will be inaugurated’’.
The new plant at the district Covid-19 hospital will have a capacity of 13000 liters. Once it becomes operational 300 oxygen beds can be supplied with oxygen continuously for 15 days.
According to authorities presently oxygen is being brought to Kodagu from Mysuru every day. Authorities added that once the pandemic abates, oxygen for two three months can be stored in the plant. It will be helpful to patients in case of natural disaster.
In Chikkamagalur district work for a 6000 liters plant is completed as per DC Dr. Bagdi Gautham ‘’we have ordered for liquid oxygen. Once it is delivered the plant will become operational’’.
At the Chamarajanagar Covid-19 hospital a 6000 liter KL liquid oxygen plant is coming up. ‘’Presently tanker of oxygen is being supplied from Mysuru every day. Once this unit becomes operational the transportation problem will be resolved’’ stated health department officials.
