Dengue in Delhi: With two more deaths toll rises to seven
Reports said a 43-year-old man died at Lal Bahadur Shastri hospital while a child lost his life to the vector-borne disease after being turned down by five hospitals.
Five-year-old Aman, who was one of the latest victims was reportedly refused admission by several hospitals as his parents desperately move from one place to the other since September ten. He died on Tuesday.
A 43-year-old man, who also died due to dengue, was reportedly brought to the hospital in critical condition and died a day later.
Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain said, "We have ordered the emergency beds to be put in hospitals. All doctors and paramedical staff asked to report. We want to help people in whatever way we can as far as dengue is concerned."
According to the fresh data released by the Delhi municipal corporation, 613 cases of dengue have been reported in the last one week and a total 1,872 patients have tested positive for the vector borne disease till September 12.
