requirement of medical oxygen and it's to cope with 1902 asian the government of india is exploring the feasibility of the conversion of existing nitrogen plants to produce oxygen. and the mini oxygen plant is up and running inside a covert 1000 treatment center in new delhi can support 20 patients at a time and vaccination efforts are stepping up to as elizabeth for a reports from new delhi. we are outside one of delhi's many public schools which are being used as vaccination centers vaccinations for all adults everyone above the age of 18 was supposed to start 2 days ago but delhi like most other states in the country doesn't have enough doses the government made appointments available today but the process isn't going smoothly people have been waiting here in line for hours they were told after the appointment was supposed to start that the vaccinations hasn't arrived yet and it's a similar picture across delhi and it's vaccination program began in january but

since then only around 2.5 percent of all adults have received both doses of the vaccine only around 12 percent have received one dose india is seeing shortages not just of vaccines but of oxygen and medicines to shortages that are resulting in the deaths of quote mine 1000 patients that's why international aid is still arriving the indian air force is airlifting cryogenic oxygen tanks from germany and transporting them around the country meanwhile the indian supreme court has asked the government to seriously consider imposing a nationwide locked on but only after it takes measures to ensure that it looks after the hundreds of millions of daily wage earners in india people who have to work every single day to survive and that's because the nationwide lock down last year was a disaster for those people so it's her aravinda soaring as chairman and chief surgeon madame's a liver transplant institute she's also

a reader investigator and medications to treat covert patients he says she hopes the situation will be under control in the next week or so. i think to an extent the scale wasn't anticipated and it wasn't talked you know in december or january that we will have such a 2nd. but example of my hospital which is a 1000 bed coordinated care hospital indoor ground daily we normally use about 3 to 3.5 metric tons of oxygen every day we're now leading to use about 11 metric tons and somehow we are managing to get in about 6 to 7 metric tons every day so we are still falling short by about 4 or 5 and that means we have to cut down the use of oxygen within the hospital we have to reduce the number of oxygen beds that can be available for cold patients so it is a very difficult situation how long it will take is a 1000000 dollar question i wish i knew what the answer but we certainly hope it's

going to happen in the next week or 10 days so certainly non-code can is suffering the elective going to stand be cases among the non-kosher diseases are being was full on these people are not being admitted however we are getting on a bit lifesaving here with transplants we are just not doing maybe 20 or 30 percent of them which don't need immediate surgery but the rest of the liver transplant us and carry on but this is at the country's premier hospital it may not be the case every event that enter modi's hindu nationalist party suffer defeat in a fiercely contested regional election seen as a barometer of his handling of the crisis with his in the battleground state of west bank go overwhelmingly back the 0 india trinamool congress over and b j p party in j.p. also failed to win in 2 southern states. and carola of a 5 week general elections overall. i'm not going to have very covert 1000 will

be my 1st priority i was working and will keep working to improve the pandemic situation across the state our officials are already working in this direction the swearing in will be a low key event because of the coven $1000.00 situation although we had a landslide victory malaysia has detected its 1st case of the highly infectious covert $1000.00 variants identified in india not official say it was found in a person who travelled from india during airport screening you didn't say when the case was detected but are urging the public to remain calm when they should ban flights to and from india on wednesday there are warnings africa could face a similar emergency to india dr may soon the harbor school director at these uncovered 1000 research group she says the situation there is very concerning. from one period of time before culbut our deaths have been largely invisible except when you're experiencing them they are not invisible to my colleagues in sudan who are part of a wide network of useful tears going out to try to measure the impact of mortality

in their communities they tell a very different story my colleague monastic who is 22 year old nurse speaks of daily professions daily daily prison processions of funerals of it feeling like this is nothing like she's ever experienced before and sometimes it's hard for her to wonder whether this doesn't almost seem like the end of her world ever at least for a world as she knew it so i think it is difficult when you are not living that reality to not believe the official figures but time and time again the official figures have been proven wrong and i think it is time to dismantle this notion that those official figures represent the reality of people on the ground we speak daily with friends and colleagues who are moving from hospital to hospital to try to find hospital beds for loved ones and failing to do so we speak daily with people who are seeking care not just for old but for for other illnesses but the hospitals are overwhelmed and they are not able to get care for. you know kidney disease or

cancer or or even for preventable issues so this has an impact far and wide and i think we are really feeling it. i think when i look at india across some of what we feel is going on in sudan and perhaps elsewhere. latin america is struggling to meet the demand for covert 19 vaccines in argentina or cases of my past the 3000000 mark when a small number of people have received the job the president's from paul's obstructions and curfews as i will surely report someone assignments. the numbers keep rising argentina like the rest of latin america is suffering a 2nd wave of covered 90 infections deaths. the government has imposed a further 3 weeks of new lockdown restrictions a nighttime curfew and schools returning to online classes here thora to say their
