New Delhi: The center on Tuesday informed Rajya Sabha that there was no death due to lack of oxygen specifically reported by the state and UTS during the second Covid-19 wave.
But there were unprecedented waves in demand for medical oxygen during the second wave and peaked at almost 9000 MT compared to 3095 MT in the first wave after the center had to step up to facilitate a fair distribution among countries, the government said.
Responding to the question of whether a large number of Covid-19 patients died on the road and hospital due to lack of oxygen in the second wave, the State Minister for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar noted that health is the subject and UTS countries regularly report the number of cases and death to the center.
“Detailed guidelines for death reporting have been issued by the UNI Ministry of Health to all states and UTS.” Thus, all states and UTS report cases and deaths to the Ministry of Health on a regular basis.
However, there are no deaths because of lack of oxygen have been specially reported by the State and UTS, “said the pawar in a written reply.
The Indian government has supported countries and conducts a series of actions including the supply of medical oxygen, and other consumables to ensure.
Clinical care Covid-19 patients remember the rise of sharp Covid-19 trajectory in this country in April – 2021.
In total demand for oxygen by the state and the total oxygen provided, the ministry said the supply of hospital medical oxygen was determined by the contractual arrangement between hospitals and medical oxygen suppliers concerned.
“However, because the surge in demand for medical oxygen during the second wave – requests in the country peaked up to almost 9000 MT compared to the first 3095 MT wave – the central government must step to facilitate a fair distribution to countries.
“Dynamic and transparent framework for the allocation of medical oxygen in consultation with the state and UTS and all stakeholders such as the relevant ministries, manufacturers / suppliers of liquid oxygen, etc.
Prepared,” said written reply.
The State and UT active load kaskel is the main determinant of oxygen allocation.
Other factors such as ruling cases, available medical infrastructure, etc.
Also given consideration.
Furthermore, the allocation remains dynamic according to changes in the load of the pandemic.
The first allocation order was issued on April 15, 2021 and was revised from time to time, based on active case trends and supply positions.
A total allocation of 10,250 MT has been carried out in 26 high-cost countries on May 28, 2021, the answer said.
The Indian government, along with the state government, takes all possible steps to overcome an unprecedented surge in oxygen demand that appears in the second wave of Covid-19.
This includes an increase in liquid medical oxygen production (LMO) of 5700 MTs in August 2020 to 9690 MTs on May 2021, restrictions on the use of the oxygen industry; and augmentation availability of containers.
Dynamic and transparent framework for medical oxygen allocations in consultation with state and UTS and all stakeholders such as the relevant ministry, manufacturers / suppliers of liquid oxygen, etc.
Also, online digital solutions are.
The aggregation system of oxygen demand (ODAs) and digital oxygen tracking system (OJTs) has been developed to ensure the demand for medical oxygen from all medical facilities and track their transportation.
Furthermore, to avoid wasting medical oxygen, the guidelines for the use of rational oxygen were issued on September 25, 2020.
This further was revised and disseminated to the country on April 25, 2021.
The countries are also equipped with oxygen equipment, such as oxygen cylinders, concentrators and pressure Adsorption swing (PSA) Oxygen generation plants.
4,02,517 oxygen cylinders have been obtained or given and distributed to America.
A total of 1,222 PSA oxygen generator plants have been approved.
Of these, on July 15, 2021, 237 the factory was assigned.
Apart from this, 295 PSA plants are being installed by different ministries, minister said.
The state is also asked to prepare state-level oxygen generator.
To increase the liquid medical oxygen storage capacity in the United States, under the Covid-Part-II emergency package, 1050 liquid medical oxygen tanks along with MGPS with the cost of 80 lakh Hospital each has been approved.
