Oxygen Express during the Pandemic

The recent move by the Indian Railways to supply liquid oxygen through train transportation is welcome. It is also welcome to know that many nations across the world have rendered India a helping hand through the supply of oxygens by air freight and ship cargo. The move comes at a time when the nation is gripping with a short supply of oxygen across various hospitals and medical institutions.

Hospitals and medical administrators should take necessary precautions to stock up oxygen supply on a priority basis and provide them to needy persons across various hospitals.

The stakeholders should also ensure that friendly policies are framed to facilitate the availability of in-house oxygen production and supply along with justified distribution across hospitals. Ease of doing business should be facilitated for uninterrupted supply of liquid medical oxygen through foreign imports also.
