    #OxygenCrisis: 25 sickest patients die at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital
  • Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, which has been leading the coronavirus battle from the front for months, lost 25 sickest patients in the last 24 hours.

    At 8 am today, the Director-Medical released a statement, claiming that oxygen would last only two hours, indicating that the mayhem was caused due to scanty supplies.

    However, Chairman Dr. DS Rana said not all deaths can be ascribed to oxygen shortage.

  • Appeal

    'Need oxygen to be airlifted urgently'

  • Crying for help, the Director-Medical informed that ventilators were also not working effectively.

    "Need oxygen to be airlifted urgently. Lives of another 60 sickest patients in peril," the statement read.

    Just yesterday, another official at the facility claimed that oxygen would last merely five hours.

    This further fanned speculations that the hospital is facing an immense crisis.

    Overburdened hospitals are being forced to turn away patients
  • The destructive second wave of coronavirus has overburdened healthcare infrastructure and hospitals are now turning away patients due to a shortage of beds and oxygen.

    On Wednesday, Delhi High Court had pulled up the Centre and asked if human lives have no value.
