Union Minister of State (I/C) for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Mansukh Mandaviya virtually inaugurated medical oxygen generator unit with a copper piping network at the state government hospital, Rambaug, in Kutch, today.

Deendayal Port has installed the facility at the total cost of approximately Rs 50 lakh, to cater to the treatment of patients at the hospital.

Mandaviya congratulated the port team and all stakeholders for installing the second oxygen plant within a month. He said that the plant will ensure expeditious oxygen refilling for smooth and continuous oxygen supply to all the beds and wards in the hospital.

He also said that all ports are contributing to fight against COVID-19 through their CSR activities. It is the responsibility of ports to provide better facilities to the people living in the surrounding areas, he added.

The installed oxygen generator unit at the hospital is having a capacity of 20,000 litres/hour at five to six bar pressure, which can be utilised for treatment of COVID as well as other patients in the locality. The system will eliminate the hardship of frequent refilling the cylinders for treatment of patients, and will ensure smooth and continuous oxygen supply to the hospital.
