The SDM today visited a level-2 health facility at Sohal Patti to review the services, especially oxygen, being administered to patients.

SDM Varjeet Walia along with Deputy Medical Commissioner Dr Gurvinder Kaur visited the centre, where 53 patients are undergoing treatment. Walia directed the officials concerned to ensure there was no leak of oxygen. He also visited a level-2 facility at Mehal Kalan and interacted with patients.

“Some relatives of patients misbehaved with the security guard at the Sohal Patti isolation centre after he prevented them from taking away an oxygen cylinder. The police have registered a case against two persons. Patients’ relatives should not enter the isolation centre,” said the SDM.

Civil Surgeon Dr Harinderjit Singh said following a high number of patients at the Sohal Patti centre, more staff had been deputed. “We are working to increase the supply of oxygen. Work is on to set up an oxygen plant in the district,” said DC Tej Pratap Singh Phoolka. — TNS
