As India's healthcare crisis reached a breaking point last month, dozens of countries pledged crucial aid. Last week, planeloads of ventilators, oxygen, and antiviral drugs began arriving. The main reason behind the misery of India's already serious Covid crisis is being exacerbated by a flat-footed coordination policy and crippling red-tapism that emphasises risk-aversion and indecision at the cost of efficiency.

Nearly 4 million donated items, spanning 24 categories, have been distributed to 38 health care facilities. The health Ministry says it has installed a "streamlined mechanism" for allocating aid. The rajasthan health Ministry claims to have given assistance to two hospitals in the cities of jodhpur and Jaipur. State governments, on the other hand, claim they have received little or no contact from the federal government about how or when they will obtain relief. There are some possible causes for the delay, including excessive paperwork or human error. To those on the field, though, such excuses are irrelevant; what they want is for the government to respond more quickly. india reports 382,315 new coronavirus cases and 3,780 virus-related deaths.

The indian red Cross Society, which collaborates with the government, receives the aid. To approve the goods, the red Cross collaborates with customs. Because the aid arrives in various quantities, specifications, and at various times, it's a huge logistical undertaking. As the government scrambles to get backlogged aid to desperate states, it is also working to increase domestic oxygen production. And at every turn, federal authorities have claimed they have enough supplies to meet states' demands." The (daily) production of oxygen in the country was 5,700 metric tons (6,283 tons) on august 1, 2020, which now increased to around 9,000 metric tons (9,920 tons)," a health Ministry spokesperson said at a news conference on Monday.
