Kanpur (UP), Jun 8: Five elderly patients died in the ICU of a state-run hospital here during the last two days, with their attendants alleging that AC plant failure was the reason for their deaths, a charge denied by hospital authorities.
The incident brought back memories of the Gorakhpur hospital deaths last year allegedly due to shortage of oxygen.
While the attendants of patients alleged that the AC plant in the ICU of Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital was not working for the past several days leading to their deaths, the principal of the Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Medical College, under which the hospital functions, said the patients died due to serious illness and not because of any AC failure.
"There were problems in the AC plant yesterday. The problems were fixed, but they again cropped up," Principal Navneet Kumar admitted but emphatically denied the charge that the patients died due to air conditioning problem.
"The ICU has serious patients but none died due to AC failure," he told reporters here.
He said technicians have been asked to rectify the problem in the AC plant at the earliest and a probe has been instituted into the matter.
The deceased patients were identified as Indrapal (75) of Nurwal, Ganga Prasad Yadav (75) of Budhi-Khera Unnao, Rasool Baksh (62) of Sandeela Hardoi, Murari Lal (65) of Azamgarh and another person whose identity could not be established immediately.
Accepting that there were certain air conditioning problems, ICU in-charge Saurav Agarwal said the AC plant of the medicine department's ICU had shut down just two days back.
"Superintending in-charge of LLR Hospital, chief medical superintendent, power department officials and the agency concerned were informed and the problem was rectified. But the compressor again got burnt yesterday," Agrawal said.
"Although it was hot inside, life-saving machines like ventilators and monitors were not affected and were working properly. Only the AC became defective," he said.
An attendant of a patient told PTI that the LLR Hospital staff tried to provide relief to patients by opening windows and doors of the ICU, but it could not be of much help due to the blazing summer.
He said attendants had to use hand fans to bring some respite to restless patients.
On getting the news about the deaths, senior officials including district magistrate and additional district magistrate (ADM) rushed to the hospital for making on-the-spot assessment.
Last year several deaths took place in a state-run hospital in Gorakhpur allegedly due to shortage of oxygen.
More than 60 children, mostly infants, had died at the Baba Raghav Das Medical College there within the span of a week in August 2017, triggering a massive outrage.
There were allegations that the deaths occurred due to disruption in oxygen supply over unpaid bills to the vendor, a charge denied by the state government. (PTI)

The government had accorded the case as Red Flag handed over the investigation to the Crime Branch and ordered a judicial commission headed by the District judge of Koraput to probe into the incident .

She had even attempted to commit suicide on November 18 last after which she was admitted to the SCB Medical College and Hospital at Cuttack and was discharged on November 27 last.
After her discharge from the hospital, the girl was under tremendous mental agony and maintained that she will not get the justice form the police and the administration.

Inaugurates Budgam’s first private hospital ‘Ibn-Sina’ in Budgam
SRINAGAR, JANUARY 06: Highlighting the need for the government to handhold private sector, especially in sectors such as healthcare, Minister for Power Development, Naeem Akhtar today urged private hospitals to strengthen their emergency care and abilities for performing complicated surgeries and other treatments.
The Minister was addressing a gathering at the inauguration of Budgam district’s first private hospital “Ibn-Sina” located right outside the Ompura railway station.
Akther said that most of the existing private hospitals do not match up to the tertiary care which the government hospitals provide, despite being home to quality doctors; Kashmir lacks a holistic healthcare system. 
The Minster said that at the government and private level we are always bothered about whether a doctor is punctual and if he is doing private practice or not. We should rather create an ecosystem in healthcare where services such as paramedics, nursing and sanitation are provided attention.
District Development Commissioner Budgam, Muhammad Haroon Malik said Ibn-Sina hospital will help to “fill the void of a quality private hospital” in Budgam district.
 “Institutionally Budgam is lagging behind but efforts in healthcare such as Ibn-Sina rekindle the hope that entrepreneurs foraying into healthcare are ready to provide good facilities to common people,” Malik said.
Director Health Services (Kashmir), Dr Saleem-ur-Rehman who was also present at the inauguration ceremony said apart from providing healthcare services to people from Srinagar and Budgam, ‘Ibn-Sina’ hospital can also cater to the needs of patients from peripheries.
Dr Rehman said emergency and trauma care are areas which private hospitals need lay special emphasis on.
Among those who were present at the event included SSP Budgam Tejinder Singh, CEO Peaks Group, Baldev Singh.

Kolkata, Dec 11: A 50-bedded integrated hospital dedicated to AYUSH (ayurveda, yoga, unani, siddha and homeopathy) medications is going to be set up by the West Bengal Government in Paschim Medinipur district.
Ever since coming to power, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been laying emphasis on the building of infrastructure in AYUSH treatment methods. A separate department has been formed, headed by a minister, to accelerate various AYUSH projects.
The Chief Minister had inaugurated a similar facility in Alipurduar a few months ago.
The State Government’s stress on AYUSH stems from two facts: They comprise some of the oldest and traditional forms of treatment across Bengal and AYUSH treatments are cost-effective, hence advantageous to the economically challenged. As a result, the AYUSH system of medication has a significant role in delivering healthcare to the masses.
The government plans to make the hospital, to come up on a few acres, one of the finest AYUSH hospitals in the country. Doctors from both the state and outside the state will be invited to serve patients.
In another major development, the State Government has decided to open separate units of AYUSH in the subsidiary healthcare units in all the districts of the state. AYUSH units have already been set up in the districts of Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Birbhum, Paschim Medinipur, Nadia, North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas.
According to a senior official of the AYUSH Department, adequate number of medical officers will be recruited in all the subsidiary health centres and adequate medicines will be made available in all the units so that poor patients can avail them free of cost.
Ms Banerjee has brought a sea change in the overall health infrastructure of Bengal through various new initiatives and revamping some of the old ones, according to a party statement here today. UNI
