"Give A Bed Or Kill Him": Plea From Covid-19 Patient's Son In Maharashtra

All the healthcare facilities overwhelmed with a sudden inflow of patients, all the hospitals in Chandrapur - 850 km from Mumbai, were closed for 24 hours. Throughout the day, elderly people were seen lying in ambulances parked outside the local hospital.

A man from Maharashtra, who has been running around trying to get medical help for his ailing father, has made a heart-rending plea. "Give him a hospital bed, or just kill him with an injection," said Sagar Kishore Naharshetivar, who has made a round of several hospitals in two states -- Maharashtra and Telangana -- in a little more than 24 hours. 24 घंटे चक्कर लगाए, कहीं बेड नहीं!बुज़ुर्ग मरीज़ के बेटे की गुहार, ‘या बेड दो या इंजेक्शन देकर मार दो!'महाराष्ट्र के चंद्रपुर का हाल. pic.twitter.com/ZzxhlnzdZL All the healthcare facilities overwhelmed with a sudden inflow of patients, all the hospitals in Chandrapur - 850 km from Mumbai, were closed for 24 hours.
