Nation To Get 60,000 New Ventilators By June End Through PM-CARES Fund, Says JP Nadda

 

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president J P Nadda on Sunday (21 June) said that by the end of June, nation will have around 60,000 additional new ventilators through the PM-CARES fund, reports Livemint.

This comes as a major boost for the nation's medical and healthcare infrastructure given at present the nation has about 21,000 operational ventilators. The announcement was made by Nadda at a Jam Sanvad Rally in Uttar Pradesh (UP).

"We had not any dedicated COVID hospitals when the lockdown was announced. Today, we have 1,000 dedicated COVID hospitals and 2 lakh COVID dedicated beds. We have 21,000 ventilators and 60,000 ventilators will be available, through PM-CARES fund by June end," Nadda said.

The nation was now producing more than 4.5 lakh PPE kits every day compared to nil before the first national lockdown was announced, he added.

Nadda also shared that the party's workers had so far distributed as many as 19 crore food packets to the needy and vulnerable. He also underscored that the party's workers had also distributed about five crore ration kits, of which 45 lakh kits have been distributed by the party's UP alone.

US not giving ventilators to India in exchange for HCQ, it’s about partnership: Top official

Ramona El Hamzaoui, USAID Acting Director, said a tranche of 50 ventilators will be sent to India in the first batch, while the remaining will be delivered in phases.

New Delhi: The US has said its decision to donate 200 ventilators to India is not in lieu of New Delhi’s move to send hydroxychloroquine drugs to America, but is about “partnership”.
