24 people died in a hospital in a single day...Sensational incident..!
"There is a company called Halfkine. We were supposed to buy the drugs from them, but that didn't happen either. But we bought the drugs locally and gave them to the patients," Dean added. Calling the deaths "unfortunate", chief minister Eknath Shinde told reporters in mumbai that action would be taken after seeking more information about what happened at the hospital. This incident is shocking. Opposition parties in maharashtra have launched an all-out attack on the Eknath Shinde government in the state, saying the "triple engine government (BJP, Eknath Shinde Sena and ajit pawar wing of the NCP) must take charge". "A total of 24 lives have been lost. Seventy are still critically injured.
There is a shortage of medical facilities and staff. Many nurses were transferred and were not replaced. Many machines are not working. The capacity of the hospital is 500, but 1,200 patients are admitted. I will speak to ajit pawar (about it). The government should look into the matter closely and control the situation," former maharashtra chief minister and congress veteran ashok chavan said after visiting the hospital today.
