The Delhi Government on Thursday issued an order for the constitution of four committees to inspect 11 Covid- 19 hospitals (government and private) and give hospital-wise recommendations on following standard operating procedures and protocols.
The committees after being set up, will also examine the reasons behind the COVID-19 deaths in the hospitals treating Corona patients in the national capital.
The order issued by the Health Department of the Delhi government noted, "It has been observed that the percentage of COVID deaths vis-a-vis admissions and the percentage of COVID deaths in wards in 11 hospitals, government and private, is on the higher side during the period 1 July till 23 July, 2020."
Kejriwal tweeted, "The deaths due to Corona in Delhi have come down. But it has to be reduced further. Today, we formed four committees of doctors which will inspect these hospitals and give suggestions: 1) Where there are still more deaths, 2) Where there are more deaths in wards, which means the patient was not taken to ICU on time."
As per the order hospitals such as Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, GTB Hospital, Max Hospital (Saket), St Stephens’ Hospital, Dr RML Hospital, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Safdarjung Hospital and Lok Nayak Hospital will be examined by the newly constituted committees.
