Private hospitals hit hard by oxygen shortage in Kasaragod
The Hindu
At least three hospitals shifted the patients to other centres due to the crisis
The private hospitals in Kasaragod are reeling under oxygen shortage due to a huge demand that has arisen following a surge in the number of COVID-19 cases. None of the government or private hospital in the district has in-situ oxygen production systems and it is heavily dependent on the oxygen cylinder. With a surge in the number of COVID cases, authorities fear this may lead to a similar crisis faced in many parts of north India. A day after two private hospitals in the district were forced to shift the patients to other hospitals due to oxygen shortage, another hospital on Tuesday faced a severe crisis of oxygen.More Related News
