The official said, nine patients were shifted here in early morning, while one patient was shifted at around 4 p.m. The NTPC officials have also been camping at the hospital since morning.
A relative of a patient (Santosh) said: “Presently, I don’t know about his condition. Earlier, Santosh was admitted in Lucknow but he was shifted to Safdarjung hospital as he received 90 per cent burn injuries.”
These patients have facial burn with inhalation injury (problem in breathing). One of the patients, with 80 per cent injury, has been put on ventilator, the official said, adding that the relatives of the patients have not been allowed to visit them in ICU as they may have risk of getting infection.
According to hospital’s spokesperson Poonam Pandey, the administration has also set up a separate ‘May I Help You’ counter to inform about the condition of patient to their relative.
