Coal India on Tuesday said it plans to install 25 oxygen generation plants in 22 hospitals across its subsidiaries at an investment of Rs 35 crore.
The combined generation capacity of 20 plants will be a little above 12,700 litres per minute. Of the remaining five, four plants together will generate 750 cubic metres per hour and one will be a refill plant.
Five of the plants are being installed at Coal India’s own hospitals with 332 beds.
Northern Coalfields Limited and Central Coalfields Limited will be putting up two plants each and Bharat Coking Coal Limited, one plant. The remaining 20 plants will be installed in district hospitals under Coal India’s corporate social responsibility programme.
The Covid situation in Calcutta is more than overwhelming.
A maximum number of posts on social media are either about someone looking for urgent oxygen supply, crucial medicines or someone feeling helpless due to an acute shortage of hospital beds. On Friday, Bengal recorded the highest single-day spike of 19, 216 Covid cases.
As we battle the ongoing Covid crisis, both individually and collectively, private hospitals in Kolkata are putting their best foot forward.
Desun Hospital has taken the initiative to set up satellite centres to treat mild and asymptomatic patients. “Our initiative aims to provide a 24x7 medical care facility to help such patients recover under the guidance of Desun’s medical team while under isolation treatment in a safe, home-like environment,” a spokesperson from the hospital said.
Private hospitals hire doctors and nurses for Covid field units The health centres are focusing on large spaces where more than hundred beds can be set up for the patients
Private hospitals that are setting up Covid field hospitals in auditoriums and stadiums are recruiting nurses and doctors and redeploying doctors from departments where the patient count has dropped to run the temporary treatment centres.
The hospitals are focusing on large spaces where more than hundred beds can be set up for Covid patients, rather than opening off-site hospitals in multiple locations with only a handful of beds in each.
