SURAT/VADODARA/AHMEDABAD: The dire shortage of beds and oxygen is forcing Covid-19 patients to risk travelling hundreds of kilometres away to save their lives.
If patients from Saurashtra are going all the way up to Surat, Vadodara hospitals are seeing an influx of Covid-infected from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Situation at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital is no different even as it’s become virtually impossible to get beds there.
Saurashtra’s three biggest hospitals the Pandit Deendayal Hospital (Rajkot civil hospital), Jamnagar’s GG Hospitals and Bhavnagar’s Sir T Hospital are overwhelmed with patients not just from respective cities but from villages of other districts too.
