Palanpur: A lawyer has submitted an application with the police accusing health officials of Deesa Civil Hospital of misleading citizens on the availability of oxygen cylinders and concentrators at the hospital.
Advocate Navin S Parmar accused Dr J H Hariyani and Dr KP Delwadia, the health officials at the Civil Hospital in Deesa, of misleading the public by claiming sufficient availability of oxygen cylinders for critical Covid-19 patients. Parmar claimed that on the contrary, the hospital faces recurrent shortage of oxygen and oxygen concentrators which had resulted in many deaths of late.
The false assurance of oxygen availability has misled many patients to risk their lives and get admitted to Deesa Civil Hospital, claimed Parmar. Once the patient is admitted, the hospital officials say that they don’t have enough oxygen. The relatives of the patients are then forced to buy the oxygen at an exorbitant price in the black market. This has become a rule rather than the exceptio
