UDHAMPUR, Mar 2: Regional President AWWA, Northern Command Sunita Dwivedi on behalf of President AWWA donated two Military Oxygen Generation Systems (MOGS) to Commanding Officers of Field Hospitals Awantipora and Batote in a function held here.
The Army Institute of Technology Alumni Association and children of serving and retired soldiers have donated these two MOGS to Central AWWA as a gesture of service towards the Nation.
The MOGS system is unique and one of its kinds; it has the capability to generate oxygen, which is crucial in forward areas and for usage by locals.
It provides the user with an in house 90 per cent plus oxygen cylinder filling capability. It further provides the medical hospitals deployed in forward areas with back up supplies of oxygen enriched medical air to manage surge and exigency demands, whilst reducing the transportation and availability issues.
The MOGS unit comprises an Oxygen generation unit, a flexible reticulation network, 90 per cent plus oxygen cylinders and transportation/ storage cages.
The noble initiative certainly will boost the inherent capability to combat shortcomings and strengthen our resolve in developing military capacity and capability in consonance with Nation building.
This will go a long way to strengthen the medical infrastructure of Northern Command and the UT of Jammu and Kashmir.
