Jaipur: \u00a0The Rajasthan government is planning to provide portable oxygen concentrators to Covid-19 patients needing oxygen support in home isolation. The oxygen concentrators will be available at \u2018Oxygen Banks\u2019 being set up across the state.

Sources said that the medical and health department has directed all the district collectors to set up \u2018Oxygen Banks\u2019 at District Drug Warehouses or DDCs attached to ADM offices in all districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The family members of the person who needs oxygen support will call the \u2018181\u2019 helpline number or contact the officers posted at the concerned District Drug Warehouse.
