‘Health infrastructure is overwhelmed’
With cases continuing to surge in Tamil Nadu, doctors’ associations are worried about the “overburdened” healthcare infrastructure and have called for an intense lockdown to cut down disease transmission and step up infrastructural requirements. Government doctors’ associations have already submitted representations, recommending a lockdown. K. Senthil, president of the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors’ Association, said medical institutions were almost overwhelmed, and supplies were becoming scarce and were high in demand, with oxygen being one of the most essential components.More Related News
