In the wake of a recent spate of deaths at a Kalwa hospital, a similar tragedy occurred at a civil hospital in Nanded, where 35 patients lost their lives since Monday night. A local politician alleged that despite having permission for 500 beds, the facility has twice as many beds but lacks adequate staff.
Dr S R Wakode, the dean of the facility in question, Shankarrao Chavan Government Hospital, said that there was a medicine shortage because the Haffkine Institute failed to provide supplies. Dr Kailash Baviskar, deputy director, IEC, public health department, said that if the hospital had inadequate stock, it had the power to purchase it locally.
