Patiala, May 9

In a shot in the arm for Government Rajindra Hospital amid criticism of Covid-appropriate facilities at the isolation ward, a Covid survivor has extended thanks to the hospital authorities for free and good treatment.

A resident of Ghaziabad (UP), Sumit, at the time of his discharge said: “My oxygen saturation had dropped to a critical level during home isolation. But I couldn’t get a bed in the National Capital Region (NCR). Consequently, I had to come to Patiala for Covid treatment. The very next day I got a bed here. The quality of treatment and medical equipment, herein, has changed my perception of government hospitals.”

In a video message, talking about the Government Rajindra Hospital, the patient expressed his satisfaction with food and support staff at the isolation ward.

He said: “The best part was that I didn’t have to spend a single penny on the entire treatment.”

Many residents of New Delhi and other states are getting treatment at the hospital.

The video came a few days after many attendants of Covid patients staged a protest, alleging mismanagement at the ward.

Meanwhile, Dr Sara, daughter of another Covid patient, also praised patient care at the hospital.

The daily death toll at the Covid isolation facility of the Government Rajindra Hospital continues to rise. Around 34 patients succumbed to the virus at the isolation wing of the hospital and only 16 Covid patients were discharged in the past 24 hours. Of the 34 victims, 15 were from Patiala and 17 from other districts of the state. Two victims were from another state.
