Dr. Swati exposes the facts about the malfunctioning ventilators sent using #PMCares Funds........

She Writes :

"I write this at the cost of becoming Kafeel Khan.

We have received these so called Ventilators from the PM Cares fund.

1/n
These are manufactured by a company named AGVA (probably made in Gujarat)

There are 4-5 such ventilators in every ICU in our Government Hospital, in total 22 ventilators.

Not one single ventilator, amongst these, actually functions the way it is supposed to function.

2/n
It is important that oxygenated air is given to the patients at a prescribed pressure at a pre-set volume (using ventilators)

But these ventilators do not carry out that function. Even if 100% oxygen is infused in these ventilators only 21% FIO2 (Fraction of inspirited oxygen)..
...is delivered by this machine to the patient.

This clearly indicates that this machine is completely useless. It is not even useful as a transport ventilator.

The Doctors working in the Government Hospital are extremely agitated by this.

4/n
Because the relatives of the patients demand why a ventilator is empty (available) and yet it is not being used. It is not possible to tell those relatives that even after using this ventilator it wont be possible to save their patient.

5/n
The Dean of the Government Medical College and the Biomedical Engineers have been appraised of this situation.

They have also expressed their helplessness in this situation.

They have now decided to return these ventilators along with a written complaint.

6/n
These ventilators have been priced at Rs. 1,40,000 per piece and these have been sent from the PMCares"

On doing a quick check up I have found that AGVA Healthcare has its Corporate office in New Delhi and its research lab in Noida, UP.

According to information available with Zaubacorp, the company is in the Manufacture of "watches and clocks".

8/n
The Company was incorporated on 8th Oct 20 by Prof Diwakar Vaish, who according to his LinkedIn profile claims to be the "Inventor of Brain Cloning" & is a "Roboticist".

Diwakar Vaish is also a Director or a Designated Partner in 4 more companies. All Incorporated AFTER Oct 20.
In a statement made to Live Mint, Diwakar Vaish had claimed that they have been in the market of selling ventilators for 3 years now.

I am not sure how they pulled that off when the company itself was registered 8 months ago, perhaps they were not a PVT LTD company, previously.

11/n
The Government of India had placed an order of 10,000 ventilators (Rs. 140 Crores) on AGVA Healthcare on March 27 2020 as reported by Huffington post in this report:

12/n
The questions that need to be asked now are:

- Why was a 10,000 pieces order placed on a Company which was basically a Start Up under Make in India, when it comes to lives of people?

13/n
Why are ventilators being purchased by GoI being sent to hospitals with a PM Cares tag (isn't it a private fund)?

- Are these ventilators really faulty? If not, why are there so many complaints? If yes, why are they being sent to hospitals?

14/n
As usual, I am pretty sure that the entire Government and BJP machinery will go into denial mode.

They don't really care if people are suffering and if lives are being lost.

15/n
All they care about is maintaining the image of Modi ....

Disclaimer: The cost of maintaining someone's image cannot be the life of someone else.
