Oxygen is in crisis : let me explain this. We had 500 plus small oxygen plants in india two decade ago. Now we have 5 - 10 giant plants and small plants are sold in scrap due to cut throat rates by giants. This is like 5 - 10 fire station instead of many in every city. Now also we should learn not to through entire market to few giants and suffer like we are suffering now. All Govts and Courts are helpless to solve the crisis. They are focussing PSA plant for piped oxygen which is not permitted by FDA testing norms. Doctors have rejected this 93% purity for ICUs and Operation Theatres. The loss of human life is in ICUs more. So PSA is not answer for that. Now Govt should ask hospitals in every district to install one suitable size (double of medical need) plant with 50% hospital ownership, 50% entreprneur's ownership. Owner will first cater to hospital and sell surplus to industries. Govt can give 50% subsidy for such investment. May be 25% Central Govt and 25% State Govt. This will work very well. I have 4 decades experience in gas and gas plant manufacturing field. Now a senior citizen age 65. Ready to give free consultation in national and humanity interest. ©Ashok Mangal #Oxygen #OxygenCrisis #corona #pandemic
