PRESS NOTE

Commenting upon the decision of the Punjab Government to distribute the Ventilators, purchased by Punjab Government last year, to private hospitals due to paucity of manpower  especially anaesthetist  to use these Ventilators, Sh. Manoranjan Kalia  Former Health and Family Welfare Minister Punjab  said that whether the private hospitals to which the said ventilators have been given by Punjab Government  will charge the rent of ventilators from the patients ? Will the Punjab Government take  these ventilators back from the private hospitals,  when the COVID period is over? Sh. Kalia demanded that  Captain Government must ensure that the COVID patients should be allowed to have  the facility of the said  ventilators free of cost. 

                        Sh. Kalia demanded that Punjab Government must spell out the number of ventilators "in-use" in the hospitals, & "not in-use" lying in the store unpacked. Also how many ventilators have been sent by centre Government and purchased by Punjab Government and remained unused.  When the 290 ventilators remained unused sent by Modi Government, why the 809  ventilators were purchased by the Punjab Government and wasted unnecessarily the public exchequer ? or if the 809 ventilators already stands purchased by Punjab Government, why did the Punjab Government not refuse to accept  the 290 ventilators sent by Modi Government so that it could be utilized in the needy   state ?,  Because in both the situations, the medical manpower to operate the ventilators  is not available.
