Aurangabad, April 4:

The severe Covid-19 patients need ventilators. Due

to the increase in the number of patients, the Government Medical College and

Hospital (GMCH) need 100 more ventilators and District Civil Hospital (DCH) 50.

District collector Sunil Chavan has sent proposals for these ventilators to the

Medical Education and Research Director and Hafkine.

The Covid mortality rate is on a rise. Symptoms

other than Covid are also seen in the serious patients and they need to be

administered ventilators. However, the ventilators are falling short for the

serious patients.

Presently, there are 110 ventilators at the GMCH and

25 at DCH and hence there is severe need for 100 and 50 ventilators

respectively there.

Presently, there are 442 patients at the GMCH, of

which there are several serious patients. Similarly, there are 67 serious

patients at DCH and have been administered Remdesvir injections.
