Lucknow: Medical oxygen plants installed at government health facilities in Uttar Pradesh during the COVID pandemic, will now be put on a digital map to ensure they remain functional and glitches are attended to swiftly.
Dr K N Tiwari, director (medical care) in the Uttar Pradesh health directorate, told reporters, “The mapping is being done for all the 563 medical oxygen plants that were installed.”
“First, a list is being compiled to determine which plants are still under warranty and which are no longer in operation.”
We’ll soon hold training for 100 employees, he continued. They will be responsible for running and maintaining the plants at the district level. Additionally, they will train new employees to run the medical oxygen plants.
The medical oxygen plants are of different capacities and have been made by different manufacturers.
Because of this, a list is being created that includes the names of the manufacturers and the kinds of tools needed for repairs.
After the mapping is completed, an outside agency will determine whether or not all plants are operational.
Plants that develop a snag will be repaired by staff deployed for the purpose. At present, 42 plants have been found to have minor issues and they will be repaired soon.
Following reports of an increase in COVID cases in several nations, the Uttar Pradesh health department recently conducted a mock drill for medical oxygen plants at 400 locations in 75 districts to assess readiness.
The central government provided a lot of medical oxygen plants during the pandemic. Several were provided via corporate social responsibility (CSR) fund. Besides, the state government gave medical oxygen plans to some hospitals.
Dr Abhishek Shukla, secretary general, Association of International Doctors, said: “During the pandemic, the state government conducted a major exercise and ensured all major COVID and non-COVID health facilities at hospitals and medical institutes had their own medical oxygen plants. This became a game changer, and we are better equipped now.”
