No functional oxygen plants, Mohali civil hospital forced to buy oxygen cylinders

Hindustan Times  

With the three pressure swing adsorption oxygen-generating plants at the civil hospital in Phase 6 lying defunct for the past four months, the hospital has been forced to buy 150 oxygen cylinders every day to ensure oxygen supply for patients. The hospital caters to the entire Mohali sub-division and nearby villages, and gets around 1,000 patients every day. The PSA plants, with a capacity of 1,000 litres per plant, were installed by the district administration at the Dr BR Ambedkar Institute of Medical Science, located on the hospital premises, in wake of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in July 2021. Mohali civil surgeon Dr Adarshpal Kaur said, “The plants come under the medical college’s purview and we have written to the college authorities and higher authorities for their repair, but nothing has been done.” Dr Bhavneet Bhatti, principal of the medical college, said, “The Punjab Health System Corporation had installed the plants and we have already written to them for their repair.
