The Delhi High Court on Wednesday evening held an urgent hearing on a petition by Max Hospital Patparganj claiming shortage of medical oxygen for treatment of Covid-19 patients. A bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Rekha Palli asked the Centre to protect the right to life of citizens who are seriously ill and require medical oxygen and to supply it by whatever means. "We are shocked and dismayed that the government does not seem to be mindful and sentitive enough to the extreme and emergent needs of medical oxygen by hospitals which are treating serious Covid patients," the bench remarked.More Related News
