The machines were being installed at the oxygen plant and a trial run of the plant was conducted to produce oxygen, prevent the shortage of oxygen and cure the positive patients as quickly as possible yesterday in MraukU Township of MraukU District in Rakhine State.
MraukU Sayadaw Vanavasi Ashin Vayaminda of Yadana Mhan Aung Monastery led the whole process to provide oxygen in Rakhine State and patients at MraukU General Hospital. The plant is a one-storey RC building and can produce 40 oxygen cylinders (40 litres) per day. If it runs for 24 hours, it can produce 60 oxygen cylinders (40 litres).
The Rakhine State faced hardships in transporting the oxygen cylinders from Yangon in the past. If the oxygen plant is completed in MraukU, it can supply oxygen to Ponnagyun, Kyauktaw, Minbya and Myebon townships.
The people can contact U Maung Win Chay, chairman of Nan Yeik Garuna Oxygen Team of MraukU Township via 09- 8522155 for the emergency COVID-19 patients in Rakhine State. –Khin Maung Tun (IPRD)/GNLM
