No ICU beds in 17 districts: LoP
Chandigarh, May 30
Holding CM Capt Amarinder Singh and his government responsible for the Covid deaths in state, AAP senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema today claimed there was no ICU bed in 17 districts of the state. He alleged there were inadequate health facilities at majority of the government hospitals.
“As many as 17 districts have gone without ICU beds in government hospitals with people forced to head for private hospitals ,” he added. He said rather than building new infrastructure, the government was downsizing the medical staff with the scrapping of the position of RMOs at SHCs serving 3,000 villages. — TNS
