Health Minister Hala Zayed announced on Monday that an electronic system had been launched to follow up the consumption rates of medical oxygen and the number of occupied ICU beds, according to the Health Ministry's spokesman Khaled Megahed.
During a video-conference meeting with the ministry's undersecretaries and heads of hospitals, Zayed stressed the system should be updated around the clock, asserting that the strategic limit of oxygen at any hospital should not be less than 12 hours with an occupancy rate of 100%.
Zayed directed the attendees to allocate a medical team at each hospital to follow up the process of supplying the coronavirus patients with the required oxygen in line with the adopted treatment protocols.
"Two reports should be submitted to the minister daily," Megahed noted.
According to the spokesman, about 400,000 liters of medical oxygen per day are being offered to the ministry in order to be distributed to hospitals.
