The consistently increasing number of recovered person
and growing difference between the active and recovered patients are a
testimony that the strategies adopted by the Centre and implemented by the
State/ UT governments are bearing desired outcomes. The primary focus has been
on early detection through house-to-house surveys, surveillance, contact
tracing, effective containment plans, screening of the vulnerable populace and
wide-spread testing. The ramped up three-tier health infrastructure and well
executed Standard of Care Protocol have aided in effective treatment in the
hospitals and through home isolation.
AIIMS, New Delhi along with the Centres of Excellence in
the States/UTs have bolstered the clinical treatment and critical care of ICU
patients, thereby managing to reduce the Case Fatality rate in India. The e-ICU
program of AIIMS, New Delhi is one more avenue of Centre-State cooperation
which is aimed at reducing mortality. Conducted twice a week, these
tele-consultation sessions have mentored and supported big COVID-19 hospitals
in States through shared experiences and technical advice from domain experts
in clinical management of ICU patients. With the dedicated efforts of
healthcare workers the recoveries are improving and case fatality is continuously
falling, which currently stands at 2.41%.

The Oxygen Concentrators will aid efforts of Center and State Govts in fight against COVID-19: Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey

Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey, Minister of State for Health
and Family Welfare today received the first tranche of 4,475 Oxygen
Concentrators from Temasek Foundation, Singapore. The Foundation has offered to
donate total of 20,000 Oxygen Concentrators to India. The remaining Oxygen
Concentrators will be received in the month of August 2020. These devices will
be made available to States and UTs for use in management of moderate cases of
COVID-19.
Expressing gratitude towards Temasek Foundation,
Singapore for their generous help, Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey said that the
Oxygen Concentrators will substantially aid the fight against COVID-19 in the
country. Calling this contribution ‘very timely’, he also complimented Indian
Red Cross Society for facilitating import of devices in the quickest possible
time. Efforts of the Tata Trusts in coordinating the entire process were also
acknowledged. “I express deep gratitude to all the people who have made
donations to the cause of fighting COVID-19 in the country through donating
blood, plasma and also making donation in kind”, he added.
Shri Choubey said “Under the dynamic leadership of the
Prime Minister, India has been leading the fight against COVID-19 through
coordinated efforts between the Centre and States/UTs through the ‘Whole of
Government’ approach. The encouraging results are being visible across the
country. We are committed to providing all possible support to the State and UT
governments in their efforts.”
Commenting on the usefulness of the Oxygen
Concentrators, he added that, “The Oxygen Concentrators are helpful devices for
moderate cases of COVID-19 patients, who may require low oxygen support. They
convert atmospheric air to therapeutic oxygen that has a concentration of
90%-95%.” As the machine obviates the need for transportation and refilling of
heavy oxygen cylinders, they can be placed in the wards where such patients are
provided care, he said. These machines can be used at COVID Care Centres and
the Railway Coaches that have been repurposed as COVID Care centres. The
Minister added that they are especially useful in remote areas, where
logistical constraints may hinder continuous supply of Oxygen cylinders.
Ms. Preeti Sudan, Secretary (HFW), Shri Rajesh Bhushan,
OSD (MOHFW), Shri R K Jain, Secretary General, Indian Red Cross, senior
officers from MoHFW and representatives of Tata Trust were present during the
event.
