BJP State vice-president Bhrugu Baxipatra on Monday alleged that Covid patients are suffering a lot due to supply of low-quality medicines and PPE kits to the Covid Hospitals in Ganjam district.
He alleged that oxygen cylinders which usually work for two-three days are getting emptied in two-three hours. He also alleged that doctors are not available for 24X7 hours due to faulty management. While there are only 300 beds available for Covid patients, dearth of oxygen has added to woes of the patients, he said.
He said paracetamol and Azithromycin tablets being supplied for treatment of Covid patients are of very low quality.
Stating that BDOs are not supplying required medicines and PPE kits to doctors, Baxiptra demanded that CCTVs installed at CCCs and Covid Hospitals so that laxities would come to the fore.
