April 15, Birgunj. Pappu Sarraf of Birgunj Metropolitan City-7 works inside and outside the isolation ward of Narayani Hospital. The condition of the father, who is struggling in the ward, burns his chest. They turn around and cry so that their mother will not see them.


The tears of Sarraf, who was sitting outside the isolation of Narayani Hospital, have not stopped. Her father is languishing in the hospital ward due to corona infection. He goes in from time to time, looks at his father's condition, and goes out, crying again.


The mother on the other side is also crying. They also remind each other - 'You have to be brave.'


"It's been three days, the doctor says he's fine, but it's not decreasing," he said. "I had diarrhea. They are worried that if the oxygen mask is blown out, there will be no one to wear it.


A relative of a patient who came out of the isolation ward came out shouting. He sanitized his hands, sprinkled sanitizer on his body, and fell down.


Outside the isolation chamber, many infected Kuruvas are found. They are doing inside and outside. Because even if the oxygen mask of the infected person is lost, there are no people to wear it.


This is the same Narayani Hospital where only four infected people lost their lives on Tuesday. Twelve people have died since the second wave of corona infection began.


Narayani Hospital has admitted only those infected with serious nature who need oxygen. Both floors of the emergency building have been set aside for the treatment of covid infections. Upstairs is the ICU and HDU. Downstairs is a low-risk area that requires only oxygen. Even that is not enough to keep the infected in the surgery ward.


Shribhagwan Prasad of Kalaiya Sub-Metropolis-23 admitted his father-in-law to Narayani Hospital after he was diagnosed with asthma. But the patient is being cared for by his wife. Even when you have to move up and down, the patient has to move forward. Kuruva, who lives with the infected, is found wandering outside.


An employee of the hospital was shouting that he had refused to move to another ward after confirming the infection. They don't even bother to spit indiscriminately, what can we do?

Kuruva is at risk of becoming infected

Bindu Devi, who has been living in Kuruva for 12 days, was sleeping on the sofa. It seems that he is not feeling well. So another woman has come to take his turn.


The son of Janaki Chaudhary of Manwa Bazaar village in Parsa is also struggling in isolation. The doctor has written to inject. She is worried that she will get sick herself.


The doctor tells you when to bring it and when to bring it." "The hospital is so filthy that I don't feel like going anywhere," she said.


The relatives of the patients have come to the conclusion that even the survivors die after being brought to the hospital. Baburam Yadav of Ramnagar Gaonpalika-5 of Sarlahi has reached the hospital with his youngest son.


Fever and respiratory problems did not go away even after four days of treatment in Sitamarhi. Narayani was brought to the hospital on Saturday. He is of the opinion that his son's treatment was not well received. The mind is not happy.


"People are terrified, screaming, lying in hospital beds. The doctors and nurses are shocked, "he said." Where are the district leaders? The hospital is short of staff, what else is there, what is not there, you don't have to look? '


Lack of manpower: Covid coordinator Dr. Slave


Emergency services have been started from the other side after the treatment of Kovid infected people was started in the emergency ward of the hospital with 25 beds.


Even in that emergency, the covid is kept infected, 'said the covid coordinator of the hospital, who arrived at the emergency room around 6:30 on Tuesday. Saroj Roshan Das told the staff not to do so.


"Even if you have an antigen, you should be tested as soon as a suspected infection occurs. Admission only if infection is confirmed and oxygen level is below 90. Otherwise send them to live in home isolation ’, he said.


Dr. Das's rush to Narayani Hospital has increased in recent days. He is very busy after the hospital gave him the responsibility of covid coordinator. ‘Suddenly the patient gets a call saying it is difficult. We have to run ', he said,' We have to look after other management work ourselves. '


Ninety-five people have been treated at Narayani Hospital since the second wave of corona infection started. Twelve people have been killed. As of Tuesday evening, 53 infected people have been admitted to the hospital.


Adding beds, lack of health workers


The 300-bed hospital is preparing to set aside 50 percent for the treatment of covid infections. Coordinator Dr. Das says that the number of beds is being increased as per the need. But the staff has not been added enough.


The District Kovid-19 Crisis Management Center had promised to provide doctors and nurses to the state government on demand. However, the hospital has stated that not a single person has arrived so far.


In one shift, two doctors are assigned to treat the infected. There are 29 infected people in ICU, HDU and Surgical. There are only three nurses and one CMA to assist in their treatment.


There are 25 people enrolled in the lower ward, with only one health worker and two assistants to serve. There are two doctors and two assistants for anesthesia. 


The hospital says that this is not enough as 24 hours duty is required.‘Everyone has been given oxygen, not enough staff to take care of everyone’, the coordinator said. Das said. He claims that there was no negligence in the treatment of the infected despite the shortage of manpower.


As there is no oxygen plant and supply facility in Narayani Hospital, oxygen has to be provided from the cylinder to the infected. Hospital employee Vijayananda Chaurasia has been given the responsibility of lowering the oxygen cylinder.
