Ghaziabad: The district administration on Saturday added four more hospitals for the treatment of Covid patients. With this, the number of Covid hospitals in the city increased to 42 and the bed capacity to nearly 3,000. The newly added hospitals for Covid care include Columbia Asia, Shivam, Prem Dharm and Shreya. “The combined bed capacity at hospitals in Ghaziabad stands at 2,977,” said an official. Columbia Asia hospital along NH-9 has 21 general and fiveICU beds, Shivam Hospital in Rajnagar has 10 oxygen and five ICU beds, Prem Dharm hospital in Vasundhara has 25 oxygen and three ICU beds, and Shreya hospital in Sahibabad has 22 oxygen and 10 ICU beds. “In the days to come, we will acquire more hospitals for Covid care,” added the official. ....
Noida/Ghaziabad: The district administration of Gautam Budh Nagar has stopped all private hospitals that have run out of oxygen or have inadequate stock from admitting Covid patients. Most facilities have been grappling with dwindling oxygen stock for the past few days. “The only difference between a bed at home and a bed at a hospital is that the hospital should be able to provide oxygen. When there is no oxygen, why should a hospital admit a patient? That is not treatment. So, we have stopped all private hospitals that have run out of oxygen from admitting patients. We are continuously expanding ICU facilities and have currently got 2,500 ICU beds. We can treat 3,000 Covid patients now,” district magistrate Suhas LY told TOI. ....
We are supposed to give life. If we cannot give even oxygen, our patients will die, said Sunil Kumar Saggar, CEO of Shanti Mukand Hospital in Karkardooma, in a choked voice around 2.43pm on Thursday with his hospital left with just two hours of oxygen. He was anxious about the 110 Covid patients in their care. The crisis had started brewing at this 200-bed hospital around 3am. Out of the 110 Covid patients, 12 were on ventilator with one consuming 18 litres of oxygen per minute. Saggar, along with a couple of doctors, reviewed the situation and hoped to survive for some more hours, relying on the 1.7 metric tonnes of oxygen received from their vendor a day earlier. By 5am, more doctors had arrived. However, as the day progressed, the hospital realised it would soon run out of oxygen. ....
Ghaziabad: After a day of panic, private hospitals in the city struggling to get oxygen for Covid patients got a breather, albeit a temporary one, on Thursday evening as the administration arranged for a few cylinders after desperate pleas for help. But the crisis is far from over and at least two hospitals have advised families that patients be shifted elsewhere. “We told officials that oxygen will get over in our hospitals any moment on Thursday and we told attendants to start shifting their Covid patients elsewhere because in case of any eventuality, we will not be responsible,” said Dr Raja Agarwal, director of Shanti Gopal Hospital in Indirapuram. The facility has around 30 Covid patients and more than 25 are on oxygen support. ....
Natwar Gehlot (41) & Sunil Gehlot (43) died within eight hours of each other in a Noida Covid facility GHAZIABAD/NOIDA: Hospitals in both cities have been complaining about acute shortage of oxygen supply for more than two days now, although the local administrations have claimed that the situation is under control. On Wednesday afternoon, an official at a prominent hospital in Ghaziabad’s Indirapuram said they have oxygen for just six hours, and will have to start discharging Covid patients if the supply runs out. Few kilometers away in Noida’s Barola, two brothers admitted to a private Covid facility died within eight hours of each other earlier this week, even after their family members managed to arrange for oxygen cylinders on their own. ....
