PM Modi to hold review meeting on medical oxygen availability today

| @indiablooms | 09 Jul 2021, 11:59 am

New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will Friday hold a high-level meeting on medical oxygen availability in hospitals of the country, to better prepare ahead of the COVID-19 third wave predicted by doctors, media reports said.

The union government is taking steps to boost oxygen production and supply.

This comes after the Modi government was brutally criticised by the Opposition as well as people on social media over the oxygen unavailability in various hospitals during the peak of COVID-19 second wave earlier in the year.

Meanwhile, Modi in a major reshuffle of his cabinet replaced Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan with Rajya Sabha member from Gujarat, Mansukh Mandaviya, on Wednesday.

The union cabinet on Thursday approved a Rs. 23,123-crore financial package to improve the health infrastructure of the country across all states.

The funding will however be done jointly by the union and respective state governments, Mandaviya told reporters.
