Concentrator banks to come up across Capital
The Delhi government is setting up oxygen concentrator banks across the city to ensure Covid-19 patients being treated at home get access to oxygen therapy should they need it, chief minister Arvind
NEW DELHI:
Kejriwal said on Saturday, adding that the machines will be delivered by officials.
The banks will be set up in all districts, the CM added. A senior Delhi government official said each of Delhi’s 11 districts will have at least 200 oxygen concentrators.
The district administration’s team of doctors will first ensure whether the person needs an oxygen concentrator or not. After their affirmation, the oxygen concentrator will be delivered to the patient’s home.
“If patients under home isolation require oxygen, our team will ensure the concentrator reaches their home within two hours. A technician will also accompany the team and explain how the oxygen concentrator is to be used. Apart from this, several people in recovery too are often advised to take oxygen at home for a few days, and such patients too, can get concentrators from these banks,” Kejriwal said.
