Party's Oximitra to address critical shortage of oximeters

PANAJI

Aam Aadmi Party has stepped up its ongoing #GoansAgainstCorona service by providing oximeters to home isolated patients who do not have an oximeter device. 

State convenor Rahul Mhambre said this decision was taken after a large number of distress calls were received from panicky Covid-positive Goans who were unable to procure the essential device for their home isolation. 

AAP’s Dr Vibhas Prabhudesai pointed out that most of the government health centres have run out of the government home isolation kit due to the astronomical rise in the number of active cases. With new positive cases being added in the thousands every day, Prabhudesai informed that oximeters are now in short supply even at pharmacies and medical stores.

Mhambre appealed to Goans who have detected positive for Covid not to panic if they are not able to locate an oximeter. Releasing an online link for sending a request for an oximeter, Mhambre assured that an AAP Oximitra would contact the patient shortly.
