In this regard, Secretary PPSHD Captain (retired) M Usman informed that 10 oxygen plants in eight districts would produce 100 cylinders daily so 30,000 oxygen cylinders would fulfill the need of 125 District Headquarter and Tehsil Headquarter hospitals across the province. He said that 124,549 oxygen cylinders had been used on average in the last four years which made 498,198 in four years.
