Kolkata, May 29, 2021: Linde India, a leading industrial gases company, donated an Oxygen Booth today to M.R. Bangur Hospital, one of the largest Covid facilities in Kolkata. The Oxygen Booth spread over 128 sq ft is set up by Linde India near the emergency wing of the hospital to provide medical oxygen support to 6-8 patients simultaneously while they await to comply with the admission formalities in the hospital. The oxygen booth will be managed by the hospital authorities.
