‘Meaningless data’: Allahabad High Court pulls up state over ventilator shortages, low doctor salaries
The Allahadbad High Court pulled up the UP government for submitting data on the number of ventilators available only in state hospitals. The Lucknow bench of the high court was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by an NGO through its general secretary, Advocate Prince Lenin, raising concerns over the inadequate availability of ventilators in government hospitals. The bench also asked whether adequately skilled personnel are available to operate ventilators, and sought data on recruitment over the past five years.
