Eight Covid patients die at Delhi's Batra hospital due to oxygen shortage
Casualties include HOD of gastroenterology department of the infirmary
Eight COVID-19 patients, including the HOD of gastroenterology department, of Batra Hospital in Delhi died due to oxygen shortage, officials said on Saturday.
"We are trying to revive five other critical patients," said Dr S C L Gupta.
Hospitals across the national capital had sent out SOS messages last week about depleting supplies of oxygen.
The Delhi government has maintained that the city is not getting its allocated quantity of the life-saving gas.
The hospital told the Delhi High Court that it was out of oxygen supply for about an hour.
