SURAT:
ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India
(AM/NS India), a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel – has set up a 250-bed Covid care hospital at Hazira, Surat, which will receive an uninterrupted supply of oxygen gas from its plant.
The temporary hospital was virtually inaugurated by chief minister Vijay Rupani on Tuesday.
The Covid care hospital near the AM/NS India Hazira manufacturing plant will admit only patients who need oxygen.
This facility will be scaled up to a 1,000-bed centre in the near future.
“AM/NS India will ensure speedy transfer of patients via ambulances to nearby hospitals in case they require more intensive medical intervention. Keeping in mind the logistics challenges and technical limitations involved in transporting oxygen to the hospitals, the decision was taken to set up this facility, thus ensuring continuous oxygen supply in addition to saving time,” an statement issued by the company read.
