Stretchers double up as beds as the second largest Delhi government hospital struggles to cope with rising virus cases
People dying outside emergency ward of the second largest Delhi government-run hospital, relatives not getting bodies from the mortuary even after 18 hours, people not finding a bed even after visiting five hospitals. These were the scenes that played out at government hospitals as COVID-19 cases surge at a record high in the city. As the largest Delhi government hospital and several others filled up two days ago, pressure has been more on GTB Hospital, the second largest Delhi government hospital, and officials are struggling to cope with it. Inside the emergency ward of GTB Hospital, stretchers doubled up as beds, which were stacked up together. In some instances, patients shared beds. There was a constant queue outside the already crowded emergency ward.More Related News
