Dharamsala, May 16

Shakti Foundation has distributed oxygen generators, concentrators, flow meters, oximeters and cloth masks among Asha workers deployed on Covid duty in the Palampur area.

Anurag Kayshap, director of the NGO that was set up in 2010, said with the support of other organisations, healthcare professionals and administrators, the foundation had been working for the deployment of concentrators, oximeters and other equipment in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.

“We plan to distribute 200 more concentrators in the next four-six weeks. These will be made available to government-run facilities in remote locations, PHCs and CHCs,” said Kashyap.

Anurag said their organisation was in touch with government civil and base hospitals in Uttarakhand and Himachal to procure and establish oxygen generator plants to cater to the requirement of hospitals without depending upon the external supply of oxygen via cylinders.
