COVID-19 Medical Inventory
The COVID-19 Medical Inventory is an academic initiation from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNSCAR), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB), Mumbai, and Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS), facilitated by the PSA.The inventory is a district-level short-term conjecture of medical inventory for COVID-19.This includes inventory for intensive and acute supportive care requirements.
The mathematical model has been tuned with the recent data and the projections have now been revised.The numbers shown below are projections meant to help administrations plan for a worst-case scenario; however, the actual numbers could differ based on the interventions.
This web application provides a four-week projected requirement for various medical inventories across districts, states, and the national level. The initiative aims to be helpful in planning for infrastructure, arranging essential human resources and procurement of materials. MSMEs and other industries working in the production and supply chain of these essentials may use these projections to support their local government administration.
