O2 plant, ward opened in Nurpur hospital

Forest and Sports Minister Rakesh Pathania dedicated a Rs 2.15 crore pressure swing absorption (PSA) oxygen generation plant and newly built emergency-cum-casualty ward in the Civil Hospital here today.

Presiding over the inaugural ceremony, Pathania said the oxygen plant with the capacity of 1,000 litres per minute had been established with the PM Care fund and it would provide oxygen supply round the clock to patients. During the first and second pandemic wave, people faced hardships due to the shortage of oxygen but the Jai Ram Thakur government had efficiently managed oxygen and medicines required for patients.

Pathania also inaugurated the Rs 1.50 crore casualty ward-cum-OPD block in the Civil Hospital. The ongoing construction of the Rs 15 crore mother, child hospital here was nearly complete. The minister said the filling of posts of the 200-bed hospital was underway. Tribune India
