It has become a matter of great luck for critical COVID-19 patients to get an ICU bed at a government hospital as the health system has been facing an overwhelming pressure due to the rising influx of coronavirus patients.
Critical COVID-19 patients in need of ICU support are shuttling from hospital to hospital in vain while few fortunate ones with high-level connections obtain the facility.
As the capital has the concentration of COVID-19 patients, the availability of ICU beds has severely shrunk in Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka.
