As many as 16 private hospitals in Patna have oxygen stock of less than one to two days, it is learnt. Among these are Park Surgicals, Royal Hospital, Samay Hospital, Siddharth Hospital, Capital Hospital, Himalaya Hospital, Nidan Hospital and Tara Hospital.

Patna: * On Sunday, four Covid-19 patients died at a hospital in Kankerbagh, Patna, allegedly due to shortage of oxygen.

* A day before that, a 36-year-old person died at home in Dhanarua, near the state capital, after failing to get medical attention.

* Relatives of many patients say they are arranging oxygen cylinders at home on advice from doctors on phone, and given the acute shortage of oxygen in most hospitals.

* Some private hospitals, relatives of patients say, are asking them to come with oxygen cylinders.

Such is the state of depleted oxygen supply in Bihar’s hospitals, and especially those in the state capital, that two of Patna’s biggest dedicated Covid facilities — Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH) and Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) — have oxygen stock of less than two days, according to hospital officials.

NMCH medical superintendent, Dr Vinod Kumar Singh, said, “We have been under tremendous pressure because of staff and oxygen cruch.”

Dr Singh had last week requested the state health department to relieve him of his charges since he did not not want to be held responsible for any patient’s death due to oxygen shortage.
