The Gurugram district administration has launched a door-to-door delivery service of oxygen cylinders with the aim of providing better health facilities to people. This initiative has now brought huge relief to Covid-19 patients in a big way. According to the district administration, around 350 home isolation patients have received medical oxygen cylinders at their doorstep.

Deputy Commissioner Yash Garg said that in order to avail the service of oxygen cylinder refill, the patient or their families will have to apply online on the portal — http://oxygenhry.in.

"On acceptance of the application, information will be sent to the patient’s mobile number through an SMS. The applicant will also have to upload the photo of the oximeter to show the oxygen level or the doctor’s prescription and Aadhaar number while applying.

In addition, it will be mandatory to write the age and address of the patient. An application can be made only once a day from a mobile number," Garg said.

The Gurugram District Magistrate has already fixed the rate of cylinders. Now, a small cylinder (B type) will cost ` 80 and a big cylinder (D type) will cost `250, while the delivery charge will be `100.
