The kin of a patient who was admitted with COVID-19 to a private hospital in Salem have alleged that the hospital asked them to get a ventilator to provide further treatment to him. A 40-year-old man, working as marketing executive, from the outskirts of Salem was admitted to a private hospital at Kondalampatti in early May. He was symptomatic and suffering from co-morbid conditions. His health condition deteriorated a couple of days after admission and he required ventilator support. The hospital, which was running short of beds, had asked his relatives to get a ventilator for further treatment, sources close to the patient alleged. As per the State government’s portal on beds, the hospital has allotted 37 beds for COVID-19 treatment, including two ICU beds.More Related News
