The oxygen crisis hit Care-New Born and Child Hospital in Gurgaon’s Sector 15, with officials saying they have been facing issues as well. On Saturday morning, Dr Sourojit Gupta, Head of Neonatology at the hospital, said the hospital, which had six babies in the NICU – two on ventilator and four on CPAP with oxygen support – were “running out of oxygen”. By Saturday evening, the area SHO had contacted the hospital and was accompanying the ambulance carrying empty cylinders to the distribution centre for refilling. Speaking to The Indian Express, Dr Gupta said, “We don’t normally have this problem but our vendor is not getting supplies lately. However, unless someone arranges supply every day, this problem will keep recurring.”
