New Delhi: In the wake of a massive spike in Covid-19 cases during the second wave, Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan visited AIIMS to review the facilities available at its Trauma Centre, including the availability of oxygen for the Covid patients. In the review meeting, AIIMS director Dr Randeep Guleria and other doctors were present.

“The implementation of Covid-appropriate behaviour is the biggest challenge before us. People have become casual during the second wave. We are doing everything to speed up vaccination and bring more vaccines into the country. We have already given ventilators to the states and they are not demanding more because they are not able to use the current ones because of lack of space. In the last week we took many decisions to strengthen the supply of oxygen on the same dynamic pattern as we did last year,” Dr Harsh Vardhan said.
