2:05 pm
companies 2 of them which have been struggling for the last 2030 years went on deaf ears because there is no exigent the problem is that we don't see a unified gumps that you want to have the bankers do send it to the ask again time and now the situation is that possibly we're oxygen didn't mind being after that we ignore known to the hospital it was tradition is more unfriending calls for the government to the high court the supreme court everybody when began this is really a very unfortunate individual desperate situation there transport of oxygen is not possible in the form that you can be used it invades it sounds absolutely hering and i'm i'm very sorry to hear that your wife is among those needing that at that urgent treatment how is it possible to keep the hospital going when you're you're monitoring supplies hour to hour to see if you can get these basic necessities to
2:06 pm
you i mean what backup plans are there to treat these patients if you need this oxygen to survive. he basically deledio intends gives him more love is connected to the legal mint says it we will get oxygen but did they have their limitations because delete does not produce any oxygen it all comes from the remembering steves basically most of the oxygen comes from those industrially as they call maharaj and also you know from south to bangalore and in the fire of the problem there is how to transport it you know even if you transported up to the airport in in force plane that everything is just come in tankers to the hospital but really reduce some of those are areas so this is one of those situations which i don't think of a previous one in spite of the fact their number of who we were going on increasing
2:07 pm
i think the management go for spittoons the management of the government don't leave the can operate at the amount of oxygen. right now there were only one 3rd of the requirement of the oxygen which are becoming every day we just get a one 3rd of it and that also after your making all the frantic efforts and all the garments which we get we the frantic efforts are going out on social media especially which i cite observers are finding really quite astonishing really i do think government officials and and those in charge are not doing their jobs here i mean should the army not be deployed what else to think people in charge could be doing to help not just your hospital but all the hospitals in the tele area. yes all the oscars are facing this problem are. different different degrees but all of them are not sort of starving people get into the place of oxygen. ministry in the

2:09 pm
something duwayne comes and comes to her skills and it must be distressing as a doctor yourself to know that many of these lives could be saved if you had access to to the basics things like oxygen as a medical professional how does it make you feel knowing that you're so powerless to prevent patients saying you're a carer dying. it is as it is really in our heart rending and we feel like crying but guess to enjoy it you had only but going to hospital if it is in your person he died this morning he was quite sick but just draw the coffin was there was no oxygen floor you know right now going to be a then you know he finally succumbed to it who are you. going around running around or spittle up and down is not. making small cylinders from here and there does not work because there is in
2:10 pm
a very limited amount of oxygen in there so i think this is a situation is very very very benteke and this you know. we will be treating it like it was. water for us and we had to get there you know seeing the political differences stop the blame game and try and see how we can you know being a lot of people who get these cincher gas which is so important for management of court in addition to the drugs they just you know it's an antiquarian fish fortunately are in the lake but this part is really what. it is indeed a very tragic and distressing situation that pender call so much for sharing your experiences with us here at al-jazeera and we wish you all the best in continuing to fight this war as you said on the coronavirus thank you. thank you.
