HYDERABAD: The governmental orders to not supply or refill oxygen cylinders for retail use has begun choking thousands of patients, who are relying on these sources as finding a bed in hospitals has become near impossible in the GHMC limits.
It is learnt that drug inspectors in three districts under the GHMC have issued verbal orders to oxygen suppliers, warning them not to cater to individuals but send their supplies only to hospitals. The worst impact is being felt after major plants like Pioneer, which supply upto 350 large oxygen cylinders to patients and small hospitals, have been asking for a letter from the Chief Secretary to procure oxygen.

More people posting SOS calls on Twitter, beds filling up at hospitals in no time
Crisis situations in finding ventilator beds at government and private hospitals in Hyderabad are slowly deepening with each passing day. This is becoming more obvious as people are posting SOS calls on Twitter, calling friends and family members, and requesting information about hospitals where ventilator beds are available.
3 to 4 weeks’ time
Heads of a few major corporate hospitals too, said that they were running out of this resource. Even if they can expand the ventilator bed facility, it would take at least three more weeks to get more ventilators.
