'Adequate availability, manufacturing, supply and storage capacity of Medical Oxygen'

New Delhi, Jul 17 (UNI) There is no major problem reported in manufacturing, storage, transport and supply of medical Oxygen, the government said on Friday.
''The Officials of the Department of Industry and Internal Trade and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare informed that as of now, there is no major problem reported in manufacturing, storage, transport and supply of Medical Oxygen,'' according to a Ministry of Commerce & Industry statement.
In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal reviewed the Medical Oxygen supply and enhancement of capacity storage in the country.
The Minister said that the adequate arrangements should be in place for any eventuality or sudden spurt in demand. He directed that special care should be taken to make available the Oxygen supply in those areas where connectivity gets affected at this time of the year, due to adverse weather conditions.
It was mentioned that average monthly consumption of Medical Oxygen was 902 MT per day in April 2020 and had gone upto 1512 MT per day by July 15. There is sufficient stock of over 15 thousand MT, as of now, the ministry said.
It was highlighted that percentage of total Covid-19 cases on Oxygen including those in ICU, has declined to 4.58 per cent on Thursday. Medical Oxygen storage capacity is also being enhanced by almost 10 per cent from 5938 MT, as on March 1.
It was observed that the overall position of the present production and supply of Medical Oxygen, as compared to the total projection of the requirement by end of this month, is comfortable in all the states.
In States, Metros and Districts, where the active cases are large in number, the position of supply and storage is adequate. Similarly, appropriate arrangements have been made for making available Medical Oxygen at remote places.
All the major manufacturers of cylinders and cryogenic vessels are now registered on Government e-Marketplace (GeM), the public procurement portal. Manufacturers of Medical Oxygen Generators are also in the process of registering.
