7 hospitals fail to install Oxygen plants in Jalandhar get notice

The district administration today issued show-cause notices to seven hospitals for failure to install pressure swing adsorption oxygen plants despite repeated directions.

These include Sharanjit Kidney Sikka Oxford Ghai Neuronova and Caremax hospitals. Deputy Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori recommended the Health Department to cancel their licence as Covid care facilities in case they fail to adhere to the guidelines issued by the administration. Further these hospitals would be held accountable for any death due to oxygen shortage in the event of a possible third Covid wave he said. During the peak of the second wave these hospitals kept asking for oxygen. The demand at some hospitals reached 200 cylinders per day. With cases reducing, this was the best time to install PSA plants
