New Delhi:Â As many as 75 COVID-19 patients have lost their lives at the Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in just the last four days, as the union territory’s largest hospital faces “logistic issues” in the supply of medical oxygen.
Thirteen more COVID-19 patients died at GMCH in the early hours of Friday, a senior health department official said.
The horror at the GMCH is continuing even as the Goa bench of the Bombay high court is hearing petitions related to deaths during the “dark hours” at the premier hospital. While the state government has not revealed the exact cause of recent deaths at the GMCH, it has told the high court that there were “logistic issues” related to supply of medical oxygen to patients.
