other medical facilities is claiming many lives a day. In another gloomy
incident a one-year-old boy, who caught Covid-19 has died outside a hospital
while waiting for a bed.
The tragic incident has reported from Visakhapatnam where the mother of the boy-child stood helplessly watching her son suffer from the disease outside the King George Hospital. All the beds in the hospital were occupied so she could not take her son inside the hospital to avail one.
According to the eyewitnesses, the woman strived hard to arrange a bed for her infected son. She kept pleading to authorities to treat her son however, no one paid heed to it and her son breathed last in an ambulance waiting for a hospital bed.

Notably, King George, the biggest govt hospital in Andhra Pradesh, however, has failed to cater to the needs of patients.
