Delhi govt made false promise of delivering oxygen, but they never came and patients died: Dr Baluja, Jaipur Hospital

दिल्ली सरकार ने हमसे ऑक्सीजन देने का झूठा वादा किया, कल हमारे यहाँ केवल ऑक्सीजन ना होने से मरीज मर गए, इससे शर्मनाक दिन मैंने अपनी ज़िंदगी में नहीं देखा

After the recent tragedy of several covid-19 patients died at a Delhi hospital due to no oxygen supply, the doctor of the hospital claimed that the Kejriwal’s govt is responsible for the deaths.

During a television debate on Saturday, Dr. D.K. Baluja, the MD at Jaipur Golden Hospital, said that the Delhi government made a false pledge to supply medical oxygen to them, but that the oxygen never arrived. As a result, several patients died the day before at the hospital, according to the psychiatrist.

The assurance, according to Dr. Baluja, was provided in writing by a Delhi government official. The patients who died, he said, should have been rescued. During the argument, the doctor broke down on live tv. He seemed to have never seen such a horrific day in his life. Despite repeated attempts to contact officials for assistance, Dr. Baluja said that no one was available to answer their concerns after the assurance was issued.

On Saturday, Jaipur Golden Hospital lawyer Sachin Dutta told the Delhi High Court that Delhi Government officials were unavailable for calls even as people died in the hospitals. He also said that his client would not be in such a situation if the Delhi government had handled affairs properly. Arvind Kejriwal has received widespread backlash for failing to procure medical oxygen supplies for hospitals. They were slapped by the Delhi High Court for failing to make sufficient attempts to obtain the oxygen allotted to them. In court, a central government official said that Delhi officials think everything will be served to them on a silver platter, while other states are vigorously trying to provide hospitals with the oxygen allotted to them.
