Union Minister of State for Home Affairs G. Kishan Reddy today said that the Central government had given 1400 ventilators to the state so far. He also said that the ventilators were given under PM CARES funds.
In a statement, Reddy said that the ventilators had been dispatched to various Government Hospitals in Telangana. He said that they had also given the ventilators to those hospitals which do not have even a single ventilator during the ongoing Covid pandemic. “In our country, since independence until past 8 months, we had only 1900 ventilators. They were also imported from different countries. But today through the initiative of Make in India, the Government Hospitals across the country have been provided with 5000 ventilators from PM CARES funds,” he noted .
