In Goa, 74 patients have died at the Medical College and Hospital - the biggest Covid facility in the state - in the past four days, all reportedly due to a lack of medical oxygen. At least 13 patients died in the early hours of Friday. The nightmare started on Tuesday when 26 patients died, 20 on Wednesday and 15 death on Thuesday. The Goa bench of the Bombay High Court has asked the government to remove any deficiencies regarding the supply of oxygen to patients. "We expect the State Administration to find out ways and means to overcome these logistical issues, so that precious life is not lost on account of any deficiencies in the matter of supply of oxygen to patients, the court ruled.
The state government on Friday appointed a committee to inquire about the ongoing oxygen supply issues at the top Goa hospital.The three-member committee will ascertain the adequacy of oxygen supply to GMC, ascertain the efficiency of the oxygen supply chain, examine the process of administration of oxygen at GMC, and give recommendations for its improvement and recommend improvement in the complete chain of oxygen delivery at GMC. Goa Forward Party chief and former dy cm Vijai Sardesai has criticised the BJP led state government. In his tweet he demands for action in such seriou cases.
Goemkars are devastated & heartbroken as inspite of a truce between @DrPramodPSawant & @visrane brokered by Centre, 13 have reportedly died last night due to ‘logistical issues’ @GoaGmc during the critical ‘dark hours’ (1-6AM)!We need action not just another committee of enquiry
