Some RUB 651 million to be allocated for oxygen concentrators

6 September 2021, Monday

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has signed an order to allocate over RUB 651.9 million for the purchase and delivery to the regions of oxygen concentrators for patients with coronavirus infection.

“Over RUB 651.9 million will be send to the regions for the purchase of oxygen concentrators for the treatment of patients with coronavirus infection. This resolution was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin,” the statement said.

It is noted that at a meeting with deputy prime ministers, Mishustin stressed the importance of maintaining an adequate oxygen supply.

“Regional authorities must plan the need in advance and monitor the condition of the equipment particularly closely. People’s lives depend on it,” he said.

The concentrators reportedly provide hospitals with oxygen to treat patients with respiratory failure.

The money will be allocated to 20 regions in need of such equipment, including the Altay Krai, Amur, Arkhangelsk, Irkutsk, Kirov, Kurgan and Orel regions, North Ossetia and Khakassia, Zabaikalye, Kalmykia, Komi, and Dagestan. Each of the regions will receive an average of RUB 32.5 million, enough to buy equipment, deliver it, and carry out commissioning work.
