NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Saturday said hospitals should learn from their experiences regarding oxygen scarcity during the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic and set up plants for generating the life-saving gas.
A bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli said for commercial considerations, some hospitals reduce capital expenditures on things like oxygen plants which are essential in a hospital, especially the big ones.
“Oxygen plants are essential. It is irresponsible not to have them,” the bench said.
“You (hospitals) should also learn from your experience and put up a plant,” the court said while hearing several pleas, on a holiday, with regard to the oxygen crisis and other Covid-19 related issues that Delhi is grappling with.
