Oxygen from the newly installed plant will be administered to patients through cylinders made available at hospital wards.

This is particularly useful for patients with co-morbidities who require prompt oxygen for survival.

The operation of the plant will significantly make oxygen available for #COVID19 patients and supplement oxygen supply to about 300 cylinders per day and 6 cylinders per hour

In critical situation, a #COVID19 patient can use 6 cylinders per day.
