Covid deaths going unabated in Jammu; ventilators become ‘show-pieces’ due to lack of man-power 10/11/2020 12:25:43 AM Early Times Report Jammu, Oct 10: Contrary to the tall claims of the authorities, deaths due to Coronavirus are going unabated in Jammu region during the first 10 days of the months of October due to completely crumbled health infrastructure in government run institutes. Although a number of positive patients have been witnessing a decreasing trend during this period, there is no control on deaths due to the deadly virus. The Central government under the PM-CARES Fund has sanctioned a good number of ventilators to the UT of J&K to combat Covid-19 but these machines have become mere ‘show-pieces’ in district hospitals of Jammu province due to non-availability of man-power. Sources said that in some hospitals authorities have yet not even opened these ventilators from boxes because they (authorities) were very much aware that there were no trained staff members to handle such highly sophisticated machines. Although higher-ups in the health departments are not ready to give details of the total number of ventilators sanctioned to J&K under this fund, in the district hospitals of far-flung areas like Poonch, Kishtwar and Reasi authorities could not properly utilize these ventilators due to staff shortage. After a spike in the cases of Covid deaths, authorities had given clear directions to the authorities in government run health institutes to control death toll but nothing concrete has been done so far.
