Just bring us oxygen : North Delhi hospitals plead for help
As coronavirus infections surge, hospitals across the capital are struggling for want of adequate oxygen supply.
26 Apr, 2021
Private hospitals in North Delhi s Rohini are struggling to keep Covid patients alive due to the shortage of medical oxygen in the city. Some have asked relatives of the patients admitted there to arrange oxygen cylinders on their own, a few have reached out to the local administration for help. If you can help us, just bring oxygen for us, Dr Mayur Rathod, his voice trembling, pleaded. Heâs the nodal officer at Saroj Superspeciality Hospital in Rohini.
Greater Noida: When CS Mittal’s oxygen levels started dropping, his wife Namita became increasingly worried. The 45-year-old engineer, who lives in Gaur Saundaryam in Greater Noida (West), tested positive for Covid-19 earlier this week and had been in home isolation since then. With reports of oxygen supplies running out at hospitals across Delhi-NCR, Namita started a frantic search for a cylinder.
Relief came in the form of a taskforce of some residents in their society, who delivered an oxygen cylinder to their doorstep around 3am on Wednesday. With their help, Mittal was later taken to Apollo Hospital in Sarita Vihar.
Jain said that in view of the increasing cases, beds are increased at a fast pace.
