Hyderabad: All India Majlis e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday inaugurated a 23-bed Covid ward at Indo US Hospital premises at Malakpet. The ward is being set up in collaboration with Sahayata Trust, a city-based charitable organisation.
On the occasion, Asaduddin Owaisi said that saving lives is more important in the current scenario. “Shortage of beds and ventilators cost us many lives during the second wave. Covid treatment is expensive and hospital like Indo US can help patients save their hard earned money,” he said. Referring to the Osmania Hospital issue, he said that, “If you want to save heritage, save it. But we need a new building for Osmania Hospital.”
The condition of the Osmania Hospital was deteriorating with every passing day. “Osmania Hospital needs a built up area of 20 lakh square feet,” he said adding that those criticising his party for supporting a new building were neither aware of the situation at OGH nor ever visited it for treatment.
Sahayata Trust CEO Syed Aneesuddin said, “The oxygen plant funded by IMRC, USA and implemented by the Sahayata Trust, which manages the Indo US Hospital, will be able to provide 24×7 liquid medical oxygen for Covid -19 patients. In case of emergencies, free refills of oxygen cylinders will be provided by the Trust.”
