The information that all beds with oxygen for patients with coronavirus infection are occupied in city hospitals is not true and is a political manipulation..

Svetlana Gorbunova-Ruban, Deputy Mayor for Healthcare and Social Protection of the Population, announced this today, October 18..

She stressed that not a single person in need of oxygen support is left without it, and information about the lack of oxygen places in city hospitals is the result of the aggravation of political struggle in the city..

“It is very difficult to resist the dishonesty of people who make themselves public relations on the topic of coronavirus. We are very careful with medical information, and using it as a weapon of political struggle is ugly and criminally.

The data on the number of vacant places, including oxygen ones, are dynamic, they change every minute. As soon as space is freed from the centralized oxygen supply, it is immediately given to patients who need it.. All patients receive the necessary assistance, "

She also noted that in addition to 719 points of centralized oxygen supply, oxygen supply is carried out using more than 1 thousand. oxygen concentrators. Also, all beds for patients with COVID-19 are fully provided with medical personnel, medicines and protective equipment..
