Kerala setup 23 Oxygen plants - most of them setup in the last year. It is now exporting oxygen to the other Covid-hit states. The vast majority of beds now have oxygen supply - even all medical colleges.
People actually planned and did things right in Kerala. No one did so at the capital.
- jopsen 6y agoThere is so much focus on oxygen, but is scaling healthcare facilities actually a solution? It seems that even in rich countries hospital capacity is overwhelmed as soon as infection rate is out of control.
- tinus_hn 6y agoNo, because a significant proportion of people who enter the hospital (and especially intensive care) will still die, even with proper care. The biggest problem is that it is a really tough sell if you run out of capacity. Even if it would be better to use that capacity for other cases.
- hesarenu 6y agoBut if the number of cases increases its very difficult to manage. Recent reports indicate Kerala might face shortage. Karnataka which also had enough oxygen can face a deficit in coming days if the cases keep up.
