PANAJI: Aam Aadmi Party today demanded the mortality bulletin of 74 deaths due to covid that were not reported earlier by the private hospitals where they occurred. In all there are 74 deaths that were not reported as per government figures itself said AAP Vice President Adv Surel Tilve.
He pointed out that initially it was said that 67 deaths were not reported then they added five more and now two more deaths were declared thus bringing the total to 74.
Adv Surel pointed out that while the media bulletin issued by the government mentions these deaths their mortality bulletin is not declared. The mortality bulletin gives details like name of the deceased, the date of admission of the deceased, co-morbidities the patient had, reason of death, whether death occurred within 24 hours and whether the patient was vaccinated.
“All this information is very important and in the case of these 74 patients it has not been provided and therefore we demand that the government immediately release the mortality bulletin of these patients,” said Adv Surel.
Tilve also pointed out that Govt had appointed Nodal officers for the Central admission purpose, were they not aware of these lapses? If not, then why? Its a matter of grave concern and that is why we are demanding for Judicial enquiry and till then Mr. Rane should resign on moral grounds.
The mortality bulletin besides giving the status of vaccination will also help determine the serious lacks from the administration, Health Minister V S Rane and CM Sawant needs to work on this for the larger benefit of Goa.
