THREAD: Over the past year #India has managed to build a robust healthcare system; ramp up number of tests; develope #vaccine and much more to fight #COVID19 pandemic.
Pre-pandemic India produced 700 MT liquid medical #Oxygen per day which has now increased to over 9,000 MT per day.
Today, India has conducted nearly 32 crore tests in total through 2,500 plus labs, hitting a global high on May 11, 2021 of 20 lakh tests per day. @PMOIndia
As a part of Hon PM Sri @narendramodi's comprehensive vision for improving universal access to health services, 50 lakh + patients have been served remote doctor consultation through eSanjeevani throughout the pandemic starting April 2020.
In collaboration with the states, GOI is continuously improving the last mile delivery as we encounter new challenges and learn new lessons.
It's working closely with civil society org & the private sector to ensure equitable and comprehensive access to vaccine. @PMOIndia
Over the last year, on an average, PM Sri @narendramodi has met and consulted with the CMs more than once a month. This is in addition to bilateral discussions with states facing specific problems.
HEALTH: The tried and tested formula of test, track and treat, which yielded very positive results last year, is being implemented and efforts are on to augment testing all over the State. 2/n
HEALTH: Special emphasis is being given for accumulation of oxygen from different plants functioning in Assam and neighboring states. Oxygen production capacity has been increased to 58.5 MT/day. Oxygen Generation Plants have been installed by Govt in all Medical Colleges. 3/n
The new Cabinet held its first meeting today (May 11, 2021) & resolved to fulfill the promises made to our people.
We have taken our first steps in this journey with the following decisions 👇
1. To contain #Covid cases, more restrictions & containment measures would be put in place from May 13, 2021. Detailed SOP will be issued on Wednesday. In case restrictions have to continue for more than a fortnight, Govt will consider financial relief package for weaker sections
2. As promised during elections, the Cabinet decided to give employment to 1 lakh educated unemployed youths of the state in posts considered essential to improve public service delivery. A Committee is being constituted under Finance Minister to work out the modalities.
Today when we are one of the only 12 nations to have developed their own vaccine, Instead of being proud Indian, you're trying to tarnish its image by encouraging vaccine hesitancy and abusing our hard working scientists.
Mr Disinformation Gandhi, you can criticise PM @narendramodi ji but why are you discrediting our scientists and entrepreneurs?
You didn't congratulate them when they developed vaccines and now you spread misinformation about the vaccines.
