To meet the demand of medical oxygen, 551 dedicated Pressure Swing Adsorption Medical Oxygen Generation Plants will be set up at public health facilities across the country through the PM Cares fund. Under this scheme, Oxygen Generation plants will also be set up in 14 districts of Chhattisgarh.<br />''<br />''PSA oxygen Generation plants will be set up in fourteen districts of Chhattisgarh through the PM Cares fund. These districts are Bastar, Bijapur, Bilaspur, Dantewada, Dhamtari, Durg, Jashpur, Kanker, Korba, Koriya, Mahasamund, Raigarh, Raipur and Rajnandgaon.<br />''<br />''The basic aim behind establishing PSA Oxygen Generation Plants at Government hospitals in the district headquarters is to further strengthen the public health system and ensure that each of these hospitals has a captive oxygen generation facility. Such an in-house captive oxygen generation facility would address the day to day medical oxygen needs of these hospitals and the district. <br />''<br />''In addition, the liquid medical oxygen would serve as a "top up" to the captive oxygen generation. Such a system will go a long way in ensuring that Government hospitals in the districts do not face sudden disruption of oxygen supplies and have access to adequate uninterrupted oxygen supply to manage the COVID-19 patients and other patients needing such support.<br />
