A senior doctor died along with seven other Covid patients in his own hospital because of an oxygen shortage despite the Delhi facility sending out an SOS for supplies on Saturday morning, officials have said.
“We are trying to resuscitate five other critical patients,” said S.C.L. Gupta, medical director of the Batra Hospital which allegedly received oxygen at 1.35pm, more than an hour after it had run out of stocks.
Gupta said that among the dead was Dr R.K. Himthani, head of the gastroenterology department who had been a patient at the hospital for over a fortnight.

New Delhi, April 29 : Hospitals in the national capital continue to face shortage of oxygen, with the Sehgal Neo Hospitals and Rosewood Hospitals now raising alarm over their depleting stocks.
In a series of tweets, Sehgal Neo Hospital said: We need Oxygen. One hour of oxygen left for 70 out of 150 patients on O2 support. Latest govt orders removed our old vendor Seth (LMO tank) and assigned Paramount (only cylinder) who can t supply capacity we need. We are distressed that we have to do this again. We have received so much help. Our staff is working 24X7, but this is the crisis we have faced every few hours for the last 10 days. Please help us save lives and continue to do our work.
