New Delhi November 24, 2021: In order to make critical oxygen care accessible to patients, NR Group donated a PSA Medical Oxygen Gas Generation Plant to the Chandrakala Hospital in Mysuru. The plant, worth INR 20 lakhs, provides patients with direct, timely access to life-sustaining oxygen care at a nominal cost for a wide-range of critical treatments.
 
The fully automatic continuous operation plant generates a dedicated supply of oxygen round-the-clock, thereby reducing costs, the dependency on external oxygen cylinders and the logistics of transportation, particularly in times of emergencies. The plant has a capacity to produce 150 liters of liquid oxygen through 17 cylinders per day, connecting the central oxygen line to all the 70 beds in the hospital, both general and deluxe wards included.

We wanted to ensure seamless oxygen access to patients through this initiative. This plant will generate medical oxygen on-site, making it highly cost-effective while boosting the hospital’s resources.”
