- Number of mechanical ventilators available for adults was 124, of which 19 required maintenance.

Number of mechanical ventilators for newborns and pediatrics was 31 only, where 3 out of the 31 were out of order, and only 6 were neonatal mechanical ventilators at all the hospitals that have been surveyed.
