War room set up to organise
oxygen is of no use and smaller
hospitals are being forced to buy from the black market to treat their
patients, say doctors
The Covid War Room created a day ago to manage oxygen supply in the City has been of no use, say some private hospital doctors. With no help coming from the War Room’s helpline, doctors say they are left with no option but to organise oxygen supplies from the black market, paying as much as ten times the price of oxygen.
Many private hospitals have not received oxygen supplies for three days and have shifted most of their patients to other hospitals with oxygen facilities. Swastik Hospital owner, Dr Vijay Raghav Reddy shifted some of his ICU patients to bigger hospitals to meet their oxygen needs. He had to manage about 10 patients at his own hospital.

Hospitals have recorded a three-fold rise in demand for medical oxygen
With a surge in the number of COVID-19 cases in the State, the demand for medical oxygen has in the last few days shot up three-fold than the usual 200 metric tonnes required per day. Most hospitals, especially medium and smaller hospitals, said they are running out of stocks.
The situation took a turn for the worse since Friday with some smaller hospitals asking families to shift patients admitted in their hospitals to other facilities as they would touch the zero mark anytime.
