Oxygen shortage led to 24 deaths in Chamarajanagar hospital: Report

Committee says district administration, hospital authorities failed to act; gives clean chit to Mysuru DC
Twenty-four COVID-19 patients, who were being treated at Chamarajanagar district hospital, died due to lack of oxygen on May 2 and 3, and the shortage of oxygen occurred due to failure of the district administration in general and the hospital authorities in particular, according to a report submitted by a committee consisting of two retired judges of the High Court.
“The Dean of Chamarajanagar Institute of Medical Sciences (CIMS) and the in charge district surgeon, a microbiologist, did not exhibit leadership quality and failed to efficiently marshal available resources to save lives,” the report said.
