May 25, 2021: More reports are beginning to emerge about ventilators bought with PM Cares funds lying unused in hospitals because of 'technical glitches'. An immediate audit of installation and operation of ventilators - provided by the central government to states - should be carried out, the Prime Minister said as he "took serious note of some reports about ventilators lying unutilised in storage in some states," a statement from his office read. Training should be provided to healthcare workers if necessary, he said. The remarks came days after the Health Ministry dismissed reports suggesting that ventilators supplied by the centre - financed from the PM-CARES Fund - to a state-run hospital in Punjab's Faridkot are lying unused because of technical glitches.
