Gasping for breath outside LNJP GTB patients awaiting oxygen
- | Monday | 19th April, 2021
While reports had arrived that two patients had died waiting to get oxygen outside the LNJP hospital on Saturday night before 10 pm, the medical oxygen shortage plagued the hospital till at least 2 am. By 4 am, two more bodies were rolled out of the LNJP Covid casualty ward and at least one body was brought out of the GTB Covid casualty before either of them could be admitted to the hospital. With oxygen running out quickly in Delhi, the same was the situation with patients arriving at the LNJP hospital. Another patient, an elderly woman, arrived around 3:30 am at the LNJP hospital in an auto with her family. And while LNJP had received oxygen supply by 3:30 am and the number of patients waiting outside had reduced, the shortage of stretchers and wheelchairs persisted.
