A 35-year-old man gets admitted at Chest Hospital, Hyderabad on COVID suspicion on June 24th and he passed away two days later. Before his death, the man sent a video to his father. The video which reflects the poor infra in Telangana hospitals has gone viral in social media.
“Can’t breathe, they removed the ventilator. It’s been three hours, I asked and they said you had enough. I feel that my heart stopped beating, nothing left in me. Bye daddy, bye everyone,” the man said in the video. Telangana Health Minister Eatala Rajendra’s response to this is shocking.
“We are allowing Corona patients to use phones and the Internet as there are away from their families, kin can’t stay with them. But, misusing the facility (referring to the videos on poor health infra),” Eatala shockingly said in a media conference. This is outright insensitive and irresponsible statement by the Minister and it reflects the sorrow state of affairs in Telangana, social media folks comment
According to the medical bulletin released last night, the total cases in Telangana go up to 14,419. The state is consistently recording around 1000 Positive cases per day even as the tests were put on hold for the last 3-4 days. The tests will resume from tomorrow again.
