        HYDERABAD: A BSNL employee has alleged that his wife died three days ago after he failed to get a bed for her despite making rounds of five separate hospitals in the city, including Gandhi Hospital. She was later cremated without being tested.
        P Srikanth, a resident of Attapur, said his wife developed cough and breathing problems at home on June 17. He immediately sought an opinion from a doctor and took her to two private hospitals while she was gasping for breath and her pulse was going down.
        The woman was not tested for Covid-19, but the hospitals denied her admission, suspecting she was infected with coronavirus and suggested she be taken to Osmania General Hospital.
        “At OGH they told me to get her tested and they asked me to go to Koti hospital. But by the time I reached there, it was very late and they suggested I take her to Gandhi Hospital,” said Srikanth.
        “I was stopped at the entrance and the guards said that unless there is a Covid- 19 positive certificate they cannot let me in,” he said, adding that when he persisted the employees at the Gandhi hospital asked him to fetch his own oxygen but by then his wife had died.
        “They alleged that my wife is positive but Gandhi employees did not take her in at all. My two children have lost their mother because of negligence,” he said.

        When contacted Dr Prabhakar Reddy, the RMO at Gandhi Hospital, said that such an incident has not come to their notice.
        “Gandhi Hospital admits only people who are already tested positive. Any patient of Covid-19 can come to the hospital and depending on their condition and consent their treatment mode will be decided. We will find out what happened in this case,” he said.
