“Availability of oxygen is a major problem now. It has become important to manage what we have with us. We have opened a portal in which all stakeholders in the supply chain from manufacturers, re-fillers, vendors to hospitals will have to update their oxygen stock position every two hours. The information that needs to be provided includes real-time update on oxygen stock, consumption, and details on departures from plants, arrival in Delhi,” Arvind Kejriwal said.
Delhi hospitals, particularly private ones, are facing a severe shortage of medical oxygen for critical Covid-19 patients.
The Delhi High Court on Saturday asked the Centre and the Delhi government to coordinate on the issue of making available medical oxygen to hospitals treating Covid-19 patients, observing that citizens cannot be left to die.
