JAKARTA, June 25 - Indonesia has sufficient oxygen supplies for Covid-19 patients, Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said on Friday (June 25), responding to concerns about pressure on supplies due to a surge in coronavirus infections in the country.
Out of Indonesia's total oxygen production capacity, only a quarter was being used to produce oxygen for medical purposes and producers were "committed" to convert production capacity to support medical needs, the minister told a virtual briefing.
