After Delhi, now Noida hospitals are sending out SOS messages over lack of adequate oxygen supply. As many as half a dozen top Noida hospitals, including Kailash, Prakash and many other big health facilities, have sent public messages seeking government's intervention in ensuring oxygen supply for Covid-19 patients in their premises. In a statement on Friday, District CMO Deepak Ohri said admissions to some private hospitals have been halted in wake of the shortage of ICU beds and oxygen, while no such restrictions have been imposed in district or government hospitals.
