Since the state capital is struggling with an acute shortage of medical oxygen, Delhi received its first Covid care center with its own oxygen system in the village of the Commonwealth Games.
A system with a capacity of around 1,500 liters of oxygen was installed in the Covid Center of the Commonwealth Games Village.
All beds are directly connected to the plant, which makes it easier to supply patients with oxygen.
The oxygen equipment was brought in from abroad by the Doctors for You facility.
Some Delhi hospitals on Sunday sent desperate SOS calls to authorities to replenish their dwindling stocks. One health facility even asked the government to withdraw its patients from circulation.
Madhukar Rainbow Children’s Hospital in Malviya Nagar warned against stock exhaustion around noon on Sunday, saying 50 people, including four newborns, were “at risk”.
On Saturday, 12 Covid-19 patients, including a senior physician, died at Batra Hospital in South Delhi after the facility ran out of medical oxygen for about 80 minutes that afternoon.
The tragic incident came in less than two weeks when 20 coronavirus patients at Jaipur Golden Hospital and 25 at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital died amid the state capital’s oxygen crisis.
Several Delhi hospitals continue to struggle with oxygen starvation as coronavirus cases keep increasing every day.
The Delhi government has requested 976 tons of oxygen from the center against the existing allotted quota of 490 tons.
The city government received just 312 tons on Friday, an official said.
