Ensure there is a back-up, bench tells Govt.
The Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court on Monday allowed the use of repaired ventilators provided they are supported by stand-by machines. A division bench of R.V. Ghuge and B.U. Debadwar perused the affidavit by the Centre and said, “We have been told through this affidavit that the ventilators are safe to be used on patients. With proper back-up if they can be used then... if there is some fault, then the patient does not suffer.” The court was hearing a bunch of petitions and public interest litigations regarding the supply and demand of medicines, oxygen, funds and management by authorities to handle the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 25, the bench was informed that 19 ventilators provided by the Central government had serious flaws.More Related News
