KATHMANDU, May 2 (Xinhua) -- Demand for oxygen has been rising in Nepal as more and more hospitalized COVID-19 patients are in need of oxygen.
"The majority of the COVID-19 patients admitted at our hospital required the support of bottled oxygen," Somnath Bastola, senior manager (corporate communication and public relation department) of Norvic International Hospital said.
According to him, over 30 patients have been admitted at the Norvic and the hospital planned to increase beds for coronavirus patients amid surging numbers of such patients.
Nepal's former Queen Komal Shah is getting treatment at Kathmandu-based Norvic International Hospital at an intensive care unit (ICU) fighting the COVID-19 for the last few days.
