Doctors fear oxygen shortage in K-P
Health department to ensure availability at hospitals
PESHAWAR:
The Provincial Doctors Association (PDA) has raised fears of a looming shortage of oxygen in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) due to the rapid spread of Covid-19 infections and demanded that a Covid emergency be declared immediately.
The association also demanded an inquiry into the death of eight patients at Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) due to lack of facilities in the past few weeks.
PDA urged the government to take steps to ensure uninterrupted supply of oxygen as its demand has increased five-fold in recent days and is still going up.
