Of the 15,554 covid deaths reported in
Bengaluru so far, 1,640 took place at home or en route to the hospital. Was it carelessness?
The number of covid-19 patients who died at home or lost their lives before reaching the hospital for treatment is as high as 1,640, according to data from the
Department of Health and Family Welfare. The massive numbers indicate that these patients either took the initial
symptoms lightly or did not get guidance from healthcare professionals or from teleconsultants appointed by the government.
The parliamentary standing committee on health and family welfare has expressed "serious displeasure" that "even after its persistent recommendations in its previous reports, the budget allocated to the department of health and family welfare has not been as per its projected demand".
