Sixteen Covid-19 patients died on Friday morning April 23 in a fire in a hospital in the suburbs of Bombay, a firefighter official told Agence France-Presse. “Seventeen patients were in the intensive care unit at Vijay Vallabh Hospital when a fire broke out, 13 died and the other four were transferred to other facilities,” said Morrison Khavari, a responsible for firefighters.
Two days earlier, 22 Covid-19 patients died at another hospital in the same state of Maharashtra due to an oxygen supply cut-off to ventilators for half an hour. Four patients were also dead in early April in a fire in a private clinic in Maharashtra, while in March a fire in a hospital had killed eleven people in Bombay.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to participate in at least three crisis meetings on Friday devoted in particular to the supply of oxygen and the availability of essential drugs. The capital New Delhi continues to be among the hardest hit, with hundreds of thousands of new infections and a slew of new hospitalizations in recent days.
