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.
