In one such initiative, Pune Municipal Commissioner Vikram Kumar announced that the PMC has received Oxygen concentrators, and they will be given to needy patients for free.
Many individuals, as well as institutions, have donated Oxygen concentrators to the PMC. Hence, the administration has set up an ‘Oxygen Concentrators Library’ to supply these concentrators to the needy not only at home but also in the hospitals if needed.
