New Delhi:Amid a surge in coronavirus cases across India, shortages of beds in the intensive care unit (ICU)'s of various hospitals in Delhi have again become an issue.
Blaming the migrants from other states for the problem, the Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain today said, due to a number of people coming to the capital and getting treated, shortage of beds is happening.
"Those who are coming to Delhi to get treated for Coronavirus already book a bed for themselves at the biggest hospitals here. Some decide to go to Max hospital, some go to Fortis. It is because of this, even the biggest hospitals are facing bed shortages," Jain said.
He further added that all these patients coming to Delhi, only do so when the health deteriorates and they need ICU care.
Giving data on the issue the Minister said that till now around 1500 people who are not from Delhi have been admitted in the hospitals in the capital.
