Notably, 57 newly set up plants are already functional in the territory. As per the statements given by the minister, Lanji, Waraseoni, Sendhwa, Lahar, Bairagarh, Berasia, Pandurna, Sausar, Hatta, Amoli, Aron, Hazira, Pipariya, Itarsi, Manpur, Sihora, Petlawad, Thandla, Vijayraghavgarh, Barwaha, Nainpur, Bhanpur, Sabalgarh, Jawad, Sarangpur, Biaora, Teonthar, Nasrullaganj, Ashta, Shujalpur, Nagda, Ganj Basoda, Bhagwanpura and Gadarwara have got one plant each.
Additionally, two oxygen plants have been set up in Kailash Nath Katju (Kukshi), Ambah, Jaora, Kurai, Maihar and Madhav Nagar Civil Hospital. Now, the officials are working on plans to institute oxygen plants across 41 community health centres. Further, MRTB Hospital Indore, Military Hospital Jabalpur, AIIMS Bhopal, ESI Hospital Nagda, Nehru Shatabdi Chikitsalaya Singrauli and Railway Hospital Jabalpur have received one plant each.
During the second wave of the pandemic, the restrained oxygen supply affected the healthcare system and a large number of patients suffered due to this. Now, the authorities are trying to upgrade the facilities in a bid to deal with the impending third wave.
