Indian hospitals are running out of oxygen that s needed to keep coronavirus patients alive

Friday, April 30, 2021 by: Arsenio Toledo Bypass censorship by sharing this link: https://www.afinalwarning.com/515239.html (Natural News) Hospitals all over India are struggling to get more oxygen for their Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) patients as supplies continue to dwindle in the country. Normally, about five percent of hospital inpatients in India require oxygen support. But these days, the majority of hospitalized COVID-19 patients need oxygen. This has put a strain on the country’s complex logistics network, which was not strengthened when the coronavirus pandemic began in India last year. Inox Air Products, a supplier of industrial gases and oxygen, estimated that before the pandemic India’s demand for medical oxygen was around 700 tons per day. During the first wave last year, demand rose to 2,800 tons. Now, it has soared past 5,000 tons.

WHO sounds alarm over COVID-linked oxygen crisis

To fix shortages in 20 of the countries, the WHO and its partners need $90 million in immediate funding. To fix the deficit for the next 12 months, the WHO Access to COVID Tools Accelerator (ACT-A) estimates a $1.6 billion need. It s a steep price tag, but the ACT-A s new COVID-19 Oxygen Emergency Taskforce hopes to create financial partnerships, analyze the oxygen supply chain, deliver supplies and services to the most burdened countries, and facilitate long-term changes to make medical oxygen more accessible. These dollars could help increase production and transportation of items such as medical oxygen, oxygen cylinders, and oxygen concentrators.
