But by afternoon the cough turned intense and her father reached out to a neighbour and she or he was taken to the Nizamabad Government Hospital at 4 p.m.
“A Rapid Antigen Test was conducted and it came out negative. The doctors told us to take the girl home as it wasn’t COVID-19,” says M. Prashant who helped the household and spoke to The Puucho on behalf of the household. The household received a CT scan on the hospital and confirmed it to a non-public practitioner who recognized critical harm to the lung, suggestive of COVID-19. But the Nizamabad hospital refused to admit her. “By 9 p.m. she had difficulty in breathing and we hired an ambulance with oxygen and started towards Hyderabad to admit her in a government hospital,” says Mr. Prashant.
At 10.15 p.m. with the ambulance dashing in direction of Hyderabad, the household despatched out a tweet tagging IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao, the Health Minister and the MLC of Nizamabad.
“Any leads. On ventilator beds vacant in govt. hospitals in Hyd. Her condition is serious. Shifting from Nzb to Hyd. Pls let me know where to join her (sic).”
The household reached the gates of the Osmania Hospital at 10.50 p.m. the place they had been advised there was an oxygen mattress accessible. After a 20-minute wait, the hospital employees stated there have been no vacancies and they need to attempt on the Gandhi General Hospital. At 11.40 p.m. the ambulance reached the GGH and the attenders had been requested to get down earlier than it was pushed inside. But after a 20-minute wait, the household was advised there isn’t a emptiness and they need to attempt on the Fever Hospital. At 12.20 a.m., the ambulance raced to the Fever Hospital with Ms. Reshma struggling to breathe. The household was advised there are not any beds and will attempt the TIMS in Gachibowli.
At 1.12 a.m. when the ambulance reached the TIMS, Ms. Reshma breathed her final. One of the individuals aiding the household tweeted: “We Lost her. At the gates of TIMS. We lost this race in saving a valuable life. No beds at Gandhi. No beds at Fever Hospital. No beds at Osmania Hospital.”
