New Delhi: At a time when the entire nation is on a war footing with the spread of the COVID-19, the Seva Bharti, a social services organisation, has displayed social responsibility by launching "oxygen vans" in Delhi to provide life-saving gas to patients.
As per reports, currently, two such vans have been parked outside Delhi's Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital which has four oxygen beds each. The Sewa Bharti is going to launch 100 such oxygen vans soon outside all major hospitals of the national capital.
Each oxygen van contains four beds along with oxygen cylinders, masks and other essential goods to take care of COVID patients.
The Seva Bharti aims to provide oxygen to needy patients as Delhi is facing an acute shortage of medical oxygen due to which many patients lost their lives.
Meanwhile, the two medical oxygen plants have been installed at AIIMS and Ram Manohar Lohia hospital in the national capital with PM-CARES fund and will start supplying oxygen to these medical facilities by this evening, the Union Health Ministry said on Wednesday.
The plants were airlifted from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu and installed here on a war footing, it added.
