Mock drill at Agra hospital sparks video of 22 victims

Hospital administrators cut off oxygen for five minutes: April video goes viral

Paras Hospital sealed immediately after video came out: FIR registered against administrator, investigation started

There was enough oxygen in the hospital, no deaths due to shortage should be investigated: District Magistrate

Agra: A video of Shri Paras Hospital in Agra, Uttar Pradesh is going viral. Twenty-two patients receiving treatment at this private hospital have reportedly died due to lack of oxygen. The oxygen supply was cut to the hospital administration for five minutes so the death was also claimed in the report. Following which, the hospital has been seized and an FIR has been lodged.

An inquiry has been ordered into the whole matter and a complaint has been lodged against the hospital administrators. District officials rushed to the hospital and conducted a two-hour preliminary investigation after which the action was taken.

Earlier, a video was leaked in which the owner of the hospital was saying that the oxygen available to Corona's patients was cut off for five minutes, as part of a mock drill. This video is going viral later.

District Magistrate Prabhu N Singh told reporters that action was being taken against the hospital administrators under the Pendemic Act. The video is also being investigated. In this video on April 28, Dr. Arijan Jain is saying that there was a lack of oxygen in the hospital during the second wave of corona. The entire Modi Nagar is currently dry, no hospital has oxygen.

We later spoke to the families of the patients admitted to the hospital but no one was willing to discharge the patient or take him to another hospital after which we cut the oxygen and did a mock drill. There are reports that this mock drill was done to see what happens if patients do not get oxygen. However, it is claimed that 22 patients died in the mock drill cycle.

The doctor further claimed that the purpose of this mock drill was to provide oxygen to extremely serious patients, we turned off the oxygen for five minutes and the bodies of 22 patients started turning blue.

The doctor claimed that the families of the other 74 Corona patients had been asked to administer oxygen. However, the district magistrate on the other hand claimed that there was no shortage of oxygen in the hospital and no patient died due to lack of oxygen. However, we have ordered an investigation into the video which is going viral.

Differences in statements from hospital administrators and district administrations

A video of a mock drill at a hospital in Agra is going viral. There are reports that the mock drill was carried out due to lack of oxygen in the hospital. The video claims that the hospital's doctor Jain is saying that the hospital is short of oxygen, currently a total of 96 patients are admitted. Therefore, it should be checked which patient is having more difficulty in getting oxygen cut. When mock drills were performed for the test, 22 patients began to have shortness of breath and blue bodies. The process of getting patients to the hospital continued despite the lack of oxygen. However, the district administration claimed that there was no shortage of oxygen. He was also accused of spreading corona before Paras Hospital was seized in 2020. So the question now is whether the administration is right or the hospital administration?
