Oxy shortage, surge in
COVID cases stretch healthcare infra; facilities struggle, send out SOS
NEWDELHI Twenty people died at Delhi’s Jaipur Golden Hospital, their lives ebbing away as the
hospital waited for oxygen to be replenished, officials said on Saturday, day five of a deepening crisis over the scarcity of oxygen vital to save critically ill COVID patients.
Every few hours, as it has been for the last days, hospitals across the national capital and its suburbs sent out desperate messages of help on social media and other platforms, flagging their dwindling stocks of oxygen. The Maharaja Agrasen Hospital approached the Delhi High Court.
On a gloomy Saturday afternoon, the staff at the Saroj Super Specialty Hospital in Delhi broke down and started praying anxiously as lives of more 100 patients hung by a thread amid rapidly depleting oxygen supply. An oxygen tanker had reached the hospital after the staff spent hours running around in search of supplies and making frantic calls to the government and police. But it could not enter the area where the hospital s oxygen tank is. The problem: its larger-than-normal size. The solution: an excavator, which broke down a portion of a wall. The hospital ran out of oxygen in the afternoon and the supply from the vendor never came.
