Lives on brink as O2 remains scarce in Delhi hospitals

Rainbow Children’s Hospital in Malviya Nagar sent out a distress call for oxygen around 10pm on Tuesday. The hospital has around 90 patients, including 20 new-born babies, four of them on ventilators. “We failed to contact the oxygen supplier and only narrowly averted a disaster,” said Dinesh Vashisth, vice-president, operations. “Yesterday, we didn’t admit new patients being uncertain of oxygen supply, but today had to take in some because they had come for deliveries.”
