DMCH caters to patients from 5 districts of north Bihar. In the second surge of the pandemic, Darbhanga has engaged 20 private hospitals to manage the patient load.

Darbhanga: A loud moan echoed in ward number 3, in one of the isolation wings for Covid patients, at the Darbhanga Medical College & Hospital (DMCH), around 5 pm Tuesday. The pitch of the cry of anguish, almost inhuman in its intensity, was high enough to drown the grunt of the pigs roaming outside, and to put other patients and their family members on edge.

Manoj Kumar Yadav, whose Covid positive father was the one moaning, helplessly rubbed the latter’s back to give him some relief. But his efforts were of little help to the old man gasping for breath — the patient’s oxygen supply wasn’t working.

A team of four doctors, checking on the patients, bypassed Ward No. 3 and the moaning patient there. The old man’s cries, meanwhile, became only louder.

Five painful minutes passed for Manoj and his father, before the doctors returned, accompanied with four nurses. While one doctor fixed the oxygen supply, another checked for his pulse. One of the doctors worked to revive the old man and a nurse left to bring an injection needed for him.

The DMCH has three functional units in three different buildings. While two are operating as isolation wards for Covid patients, a third is for patients who need ventilator support. There is also a fourth building  – the old surgery wing – which till recently was being used as a waiting area for Covid patients, who couldn’t immediately be assigned a bed. A few critical non-Covid surgeries are also being held here.

But the condition of the hospital, especially one of the isolation wards, is bound to make one pity the necessity of those who are being forced by circumstances to bring in their ailing family members here.
