Lack of beds, staff hits treatment in Anantapur
The Hindu
There is one nurse for 50 patients, attendants say
With the district running out of ICU and oxygen-supported beds, distressing scenes ensued at the Anantapur GGH as tens of patients, hooked up to oxygen cylinders that they bought on their own, continued to wait outside in ambulances for admission. Many of them have come from across the district as they were referred to the Anantapur Government General Hospital for an oxygen bed. One patient, whose oxygen saturation level had dipped to 88%, had come from Dharmavaram after finding no vacancy at the Gafoor Hospital there.More Related News
