A blow-by-blow account of how a patient died after being refused by two branches of same hospital
It’s 2020 all over again. A 33-year-old man lost his life, despite
volunteers and members of the
Covid War Room coordinating his admission into two
hospitals, which refused to take him in after a bed was allotted there.
The man died, with doctors refusing to give him oxygen or check his SP02. After being driven around for six hours he succumbed on Saturday morning.
The patient was admitted to a private hospital in Madiwala three days ago with pneumonia and he later tested Covid-19 positive. When the hospital asked his family to move him out, they contacted Mohammed Ibrahim Akram of Beijing Bites, an Emergency Response Team (ERT) member.
