All patients were shifted to Victoria and Bowring Hospitals

BENGALURU:

Nearly 350 patients’ lives were put at grave risk after a sudden shortage of oxygen at KIMS on Monday evening.

Before any fatalities could occur, all these patients were shifted to the nearby Victoria and Bowring Hospitals.

According to a KIMS insider, the incident showed the utter negligence of the KIMS administration in risking the lives of patients despite the huge shortage of liquid oxygen in the hospital.

As per sources, nearly 45 ambulances were utilised to evacuate the patients.

Meanwhile, a KIMS press release said: “Due to shortage of liquid oxygen from the manufacturing company on August 17, we have anticipated that low oxygen hypoxic crisis may occur for oxygen-dependent patients. Hence we have informed the authorities about the situation and requested for arrangements of liquid oxygen from other suppliers.

“For damage control and precautionary measures, we plan to shift all oxygen-dependent patients to various government and private hospitals. During this crisis, all government officials and authorities immediately responded to our call and supported us by joining hands with the management for saving the lives of the patients. We are indebted for their kind cooperation.”

Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar and Health Minister B Sriramulu took stock of the situation.

ಕಿಮ್ಸ್ ಆಸ್ಪತೆಯಿಂದ 14 ರೋಗಿಗಳನ್ನು ವಿಕ್ಟೊರಿಯಾ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗೆ ಮತ್ತು 15 ರೋಗಿಗಳನ್ನು ಬೌರಿಂಗ್ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗೆ ಅಂಬ್ಯುಲೆನ್ಸ್ ಮೂಲಕ ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತವಾಗಿ ರವಾನಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ತುರ್ತು ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಗಾಗಿ ರಾಜೀವ್ ಗಾಂಧಿ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ 40 ಆಕ್ಸಿಜನ್ ಬೆಡ್ ಗಳನ್ನು ಸಿದ್ಧ ಪಡಿದಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ರೋಗಿಗೂ ಸೂಕ್ತ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ದೊರಕಿಸುವುದು ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಪ್ರಥಮ ಆದ್ಯತೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಖಾಸಗಿ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ರೀತಿಯ ಸಹಕಾರ ಮತ್ತು ನೆರವು ನೀಡಲು ಬದ್ಧವಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೊರೊನಾ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಗೆ ಮೂಲಸೌಕರ್ಯ ಒದಗಿಸುವುದು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಸವಾಲು ನಿಜ. ಆದರೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಹಿಮ್ಮೆಟ್ಟಿಸುವ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಂಕಲ್ಪ ಅದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಬಲವಾಗಿದೆ.

ಸೂಚಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೆಲವರನ್ನು ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ವಿಕ್ಟೋರಿಯಾ, ಬೌರಿಂಗ್ ಮತ್ತು ರಾಜೀವ್ ಗಾಂಧಿ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳಿಗೆ ರವಾನಿಸಿ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಗೆ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಆಮ್ಲಜನಕ ಕೊರತೆ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯ ವಹಿಸಿರುವ ತಪ್ಪಿತಸ್ಥರ ಮೇಲೆ ಸೂಕ್ತ ಕ್ರಮ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೇವೆ.
