NEW DELHI - Liver patient Shahjahan's family feared the worst when a New Delhi public hospital told her to leave because her bed was needed in a coronavirus unit.
The capacity of medical facilities around the world has been stretched by the surge of Covid-19 patients as outbreaks worsen in many countries. Outpatient departments at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences closed, forcing cancer patients and others with deadly ailments to take shelter in a grimy pedestrian subway and under canvas.
AIIMS did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the death and the patients outside. But hospitals across the vast country of 1.3 billion people have been put on alert and its virus death toll is now above 280. SHUT OUT "It is important to expand healthcare facilities to fight Covid-19. At the same time, hospitals and ambulances have to be available for patients with other problems," he said.
"Her cancer is at stage three now. Had she received treatment on time, this would not have happened," her son, Mr Debashish Dag, said.
