Trident Ltd donates 100 oxygen concentrators to Punjab Govt in fight against Covid

Chandigarh: In an effort to combat the pandemic and stabilise the healthcare infrastructure Trident Ltd today handed over a total of 100 oxygen concentrators to Tej Partap Singh Phoolka, DC of Barnala, at Barnala to aid the government in the fight against Covid-19.

Padma Shri recipient Rajinder Gupta, chairman of Trident Limited, said, “We believe in making contributions and providing support to the government in fighting the pandemic with hope and prayers for everyone's well-being. These are tough times and I request each individual to stay safe and help others, even a small contribution matters.”

Oxygen concentrators will further be distributed in various districts of Punjab. The districts are: Barnala, Fatehgarh Sahib, Fazilka, Moga, Kapurthala and Sri Muktsar Sahib.

An oxygen concentrator filters oxygen from the atmosphere and can help boost oxygen level. It is essential as it helps in buying crucial time when the patient’s oxygen levels drop. Deploying oxygen concentrators at hospitals will also help in reducing dependence on refilling cylinders and their transport.
