Des Ki Baat: Centre Faces Backlash After Claiming There Were No Deaths Due To Oxygen Shortage

Des Ki Baat - July 21, 2021: India saw a massive shortage of medical oxygen and hospital beds at the peak of the second wave and many nations came forward to help amid desperate appeals on social media. In Goa, over 80 people died at a state-run medical facility in over five days in May. In Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, 11 Covid patients admitted to a hospital ICU died. No data was provided by states on deaths due to oxygen shortage - this statement by the Centre has led to a huge political backlash. Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said today, slamming the Centre, "It's completely false to say no one died due to oxygen crisis. Why were hospitals making desperate appeals every day at the High Court? The Centre may soon say there was no pandemic.” At the peak of the second Covid wave, the struggle among India's hospitals and patients had captured global attention.
