Advertisement
Indore: Authorities at the government-run Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital set up two inquiry committees following media reports which claimed that nine patients died due to temporary stoppage of oxygen supply between June 21 and 22.
Denying the reports, Dr V S Pal, hospital superintendent, said that between 8 am on June 21 and 8 am on the next day, as many as 17 critically ill patients died in various wards, but the cause of death in any of these cases was not due to deprivation of oxygen supply. In fact, none of them was on oxygen supply, he said.
