Covid 19: finding oxygen concentrators in India

Reading this latest post by @sanucoder about how it was able to create a covid tracker to keep people wary made me realise that I should myself let others fo d our how they can find oxygen concentrators in India. This is because right now there is a shortage of oxygen in parts of India still struggling tirelessly with Covid syndrom and cases. Below are the list of webiste a where anyone can find, rent or buy portable oxygen concentrators in India.

5 ways to buy oxygen concentrators in India

Oxygen concentrators are medical equipment that accumulate the already present oxygen in the air and serve it to you in oxygen containers. The process is called concentration (ref.). As you can find out, air around us contain ~21% oxygen which you breath but with the help of these concentrators you can get 90-95% pure oxygen into containers. This saves on the transportation cost and other such issue in logistics.

In the latest reports available we have come to find out about the adverse effects of Covid hitting larger regions in Kolkata and West Bengal (ref.) so it has become much more necessary to make this equipment available to those in need at the earliest and the logistics in our country as you already know can be a big problem (ref.) regardless of system or Modi government. (We don't see the difference, frankly!)

Medinza (www.medinza.com)

The company has two separate models listed from the same brand and you can enquire about the products from them but based on what’s available on the site it’s hard to make any firm comment. However, the contact us email is verified for enquiries.

Sanraimed.com (www.sanraimed.com)

The company is a distributor for some medical equipment manufacturers globally. The company has a number of product models available. The website contact form is not functioning properly and there was no way to contact them apart from the contact details available below.

Mr. Amanpreet Rai: info@sanraimed.com

Apollo Home Care (www.apollohomecare.com)

At the moment the company website has three products listed on it with different photographs but little to no information is available about the specifications or the brand. As it turns out their contact form is not working and there is no direct or indirect method of contacting them in the enquiry section. The best recourse would be to contact them via landline number (International Number!) +8125008585

Or

To connect with them from the email listed in the contact us section reach@apollohomecare.com

Homeland HealthCare ( www.homelandhealthcare.in )

The company website has listed both stationary and portable oxygen concentrators available for rent. The company is working from a whatsapp number at +91 98993 05644
And the contact form is up for enquiries. You can contact them without an issue from their website itself. The website does not have any model numbers mentioned for purchasing portable oxygen concentrators but for stationary models you can reach them via WhatsApp only. Below I have listed down a number of suggested models for you to enquire which are recommended by practitioners.

The company has not listed any models or products on their website but the website provides the contact details for enquiry. The contact number available: +91 97738 38272

It's possible that due to the demand and the lack of resources we are experiencing some of the medical equipment suppliers might not be able to respond to you in time. The situation has made a derogatory state of affairs all around us and we blaming the system or Modi Government isn't taking us anywhere. That being said, the masks have muted more than they have saved.
