Patient safety
It is distressing that several COVID-19 affected patients admitted in various hospitals are losing their lives almost every day as a result of oxygen/fire-related incidents. The fact that the national capital, home to constitutional, judicial and executive heads, is seeing several fatalities due to the oxygen crisis points to shoddy planning, inadequate attention and inept handling of the medical crisis. Ensuring foolproof safety norms in hospitals should be on a par with quality care being provided to patients. Untoward incidents should be averted at all costs.
