In all 12 districts, 6 medical schools operate | 6 in the second wave

Even if the expected third wave of Covid-19 is larger than the second wave, Himachal is unlikely to face an oxygen shortage. After the second wave in April and May, the state added 28 PSA oxygen plants, bringing the total to 35. "In the second wave, we only had six oxygen plants. Now, we have 35, all of which are operational or almost operational," said Dr. Jitender Chauhan, a state-level oxygen node officer. “Although 28 were established by the government, the rest were sponsored through corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs,” said Dr. Chauhan.
It is difficult to say how much oxygen we need in case of a third wave attack. If the situation becomes as bad or worse as it was during the second wave, having excess oxygen will not harm us. — Dr. Jitender Chauhan, State Oxygen Node Officer
There are more oxygen plants under consideration, but many people are beginning to feel that there may be more plants in the state than ever before. "If the third wave strikes us, it is difficult to determine how much oxygen we need. If the situation becomes as bad or worse as the second wave, the excess oxygen will not harm us," Dr. Johan said.
Dr. Chauhan looked at the current situation from the perspective of oxygen. He said that the maximum daily oxygen consumption during the second wave was 34 metric tons. "The minimum power generation capacity of these 35 factories is approximately 48 metric tons per day," he said. "In addition, we now have more than 10,000 D-shaped cylinders and approximately 4,700 hospital beds, with uninterrupted oxygen supply facilities. As far as oxygen is concerned, we are now much more comfortable," he said. Currently, all 12 districts and 6 medical schools have oxygen plants.
Although the center has paid approximately Rs 1 crore for all 28 factories, the required civil works and maintenance costs are borne by the state. “The state spent approximately 6.6 million rupees per plant in civil works, generator sets and 125-KV power lines,” said Dr. Chauhan. Other costs that the state must bear will be the maintenance and personnel costs required to operate these factories.
"After the Covid threat is over, these plants are still useful. With the continuous supply of oxygen from different medical institutions, people will get better and more medical services in nearby hospitals. This will reduce the burden on tertiary medical centers," Joe Dr. Han said.
