Max Hospital chain posted a statement on Twitter.
New Delhi:
Delhi’s Max hospital chain has retracted an order which said it would not admit any more patients until oxygen supplies stabilized, in an escalating crisis over Covid cases spiraling in the capital.
“We regret to inform that we are suspending any new patient admissions in all our hospitals in Delhi NCR till oxygen supplies stabilize,” Max hospital had said in a statement on Twitter.
Max Healthcare, which runs a network of hospitals in north India, posted an appeal on Twitter on Friday for emergency supplies of oxygen at its facility in south Delhi’s Saket. A little after 9:30 am, the hospital said it has received emergency supplies at Max Saket and Max Smart and that this supply will last another two hours.
At Sir Ganga Ram hospital in Delhi, 25 “sickest patients” have died in the last 24 hours, a statement from the hospital said this morning, revealing a worsening Covid crisis in the capital’s hospitals. The hospital also said it had oxygen for only two more hours and that 60 more patients were at risk. Around two hours later, oxygen tankers arrived at the hospital.
Desperate calls from hospitals and ordinary people have been posted on social media for days this week across the country as India witnesses its worst public health crisis.
