New Delhi: The Delhi government didn’t account for the oxygen requirements of Covid patients in home isolation, and only took hospital beds into count, and thus got its entire quota calculation wrong amid the second wave, ThePrint has learnt.
Even the Union government did the same thing. A high-powered committee comprising AIIMS director Randeep Guleria, Niti Aayog member V.K. Paul and ICMR DG Balram Bhargava and the directorate general health services, formed to calculate the oxygen requirement for states/union territories, devised a formula on the basis of hospital beds alone.
This was one of the reasons why the central government’s policy for allocation of medical oxygen to states and union territories was Thursday labelled flawed by the Supreme Court, which called for it to be completely revamped.
