Hyderabad: Hospital bed with oxygen or ventilator support has become a strong task for doctors, patients and their relatives, as the second wave of new Covid-19 infections and active cases continues in Hyderabad and Telangana.
As on Friday, Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) Gachibowli, is the only still has ventilator and oxygen beds. However, due to increasing cases, the hospitals beds at TIMS are likely to fill up in the coming few days.
At Gandhi Hospital, all the 619 ventilator beds are filled while there are at least another 300 available oxygen beds.
The government hospitals like Gandhi Hospital, TIMS and Chest Hospital also extend treatment facilities to critical patients from other parts of the State.
“We are witnessing a trend wherein doctors from Community Health Centres (CHCs) in districts instead of referring patients to the local AH or DH that are equipped with oxygen or ventilator supporting beds, are referring critical patients to Gandhi and TIMS. Imagine a critical care patient being transported in a vehicle all the way to Gandhi or TIMS in an ambulance. A majority of them die while being transported. We have given strict orders to our CHCs doctors to first refer critical patients to local DH or AH,” said Health Minister Eatala Rajender.
