The lack of ventilators in the country's hospitals will be overcome with the Coronavirus. The government claims that 40 thousand ventilators will be ready in a month. Many companies in India are involved in the manufacture of ventilators. On Friday, Chairman of Empowered Group 3, PD Vaghela said that at present there is a need of about 75 thousand ventilators in the country.
There are currently 19,398 ventilators available. While an order of 60,884 has been placed. He also told that in two months we will get one crore 40 lakh masks. At the same time, 300 million hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) drugs are available. Nine crore tablets have been given in the market. HCQ drug production in the country has also increased.
In fact, before the coronavirus, about 8 to 10 thousand ventilators were present in government hospitals in the country. While their number in private hospitals is about 40 thousand. When the number of infected patients increased in March, the government also insisted on the purchase of ventilators.
Since an average of five thousand ventilators were being produced in India so far every month, but the production capacity of ventilators in India is increasing every day after the raw material is imported from Singapore, Korea, and Japan. As a result of this, nine thousand ventilators have been supplied in the last one month.
Officials of the Union Health Ministry said that between May and June, about 40 thousand ventilators will be prepared through different companies in the country. Including portable ventilators.
