In line with PM’s direction of boosting availability of oxygen to hospitals, PM CARES Fund has given in-principle approval for allocation of funds for installation of 551 dedicated Pressure Swing Adsorption Medical Oxygen Generation Plants inside public health facilities: PMO 
PM has directed that these plants should be made functional as soon as possible. These dedicated plants will be established in identified Govt hospitals in district headquarters in various States/UTs. The procurement will be done through Ministry of Health and Family Welfare: PMO
The basic aim behind establishing PSA Oxygen Generation Plants at Government hospitals in the district headquarters is to further strengthen the public health system and ensure that each of these hospitals has a captive oxygen generation facility: Prime Minister's Office (PMO)
Such an in-house captive oxygen generation facility would address the day-to-day medical oxygen needs of these hospitals and the district. In addition, the liquid medical oxygen (LMO) would serve as a “top up” to the captive oxygen generation: PMO
Such a system will go a long way in ensuring that Government hospitals in the districts do not face sudden disruption of oxygen supplies and have access to adequate uninterrupted oxygen supply to manage the COVID-19 patients and other patients needing such support: PMO
