Caretaker of Hathazari Health Complex Dr ASM Imtiaj Hossain said the hospital authorities had to spend a large amount of money to buy oxyzen. However, setting up this plant will save a lot of money for the government, he added.
“We’ll reserve oxyzen by keeping the hospital’s cylinders full at first after starting the plant so that the patients do not have any problem,” he further said.
