Govt launches doorstep delivery of O2 concentrators in five cities

BHUBANESWAR: To ensure that Covid-infected patients do not suffer for want of medical oxygen, the state government on Sunday launched doorstep delivery of oxygen concentrators in the cities of Bhubaneswar, Berhampur, Cuttack, Rourkela and Sambalpur.
“It will give a huge respite to people who are looking for oxygen concentrators and strengthen our preparedness against current and future waves of Covid-19,” chief minister Naveen Patnaik said after launching the service.
The government said patients can book oxygen concentrators online through the state Covid dashboard (https://statedashboard.odisha.gov.in) or directly via the URL https://o2booking.sachetakapp.in.
After the booking, authorities from the local urban local body will provide oxygen concentrators at patients’ registered address.
“As of now there is no shortage of medical oxygen in our state.
The government is committed to ensure seamless supply of medical oxygen to patients,” a senior government official said.
Last week, the state government received the first consignment of around 1,300 medical-grade oxygen cylinders from China.
The cylinders were sponsored by ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AMNS) India Limited through its corporate social responsibility initiative.
Recently, the chief minister announced the formation of a task force to further strengthen the supply logistics of medical oxygen and prepare a master plan to meet the immediate requirement.
