The healthcare system in the national capital seems to be on the edge due to a massive increase in the number of patients following the second wave of COVID-19. A patient was seen lying on the ground for hours in the RML Hospital. However, the security personnel on the gate did not let the patient go inside citing "instructions from the higher-ups" even as the family members kept pleading.

Kewal Kumar, a resident of Paschim Puri in Delhi, was having breathing problems following which he was taken to a private hospital from where he was referred to the LNJP, after the doctors detected corona-like symptoms. However, when his family reached LNJP, the patient was not allowed inside. He had to spend hours outside the hospital even as his health condition was worsening.
