85-year-old RSS Worker Vacates Hospital Bed For Young Patient, Dies At Home

 

The News Cover: India is facing a spike in the number of coronavirus cases. For the past few weeks, the country has been reporting lots of deaths daily. Due to the increase in the number of cases, there is nonavailability of hospital beds, shortage of Oxygen cylinders and medicine, etc. During this health crisis, an 85-year-old man has shown sacrifice and courage. Let me tell you what sacrifice he made. Narayan Dabhalkar an 85-year-old man was an employee of the Maharashtra government and a member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). 

Dabhalkar had contracted Covid-19 and his oxygen levels were dropping. His daughter and son-in-law found a hospital bed for him with a lot of effort. He was admitted to the Indira Gandhi Government Hospital in Nagpur on 22nd April. Sometime after being admitted, he saw a woman inquiring for a bed to save her COVID-infected husband. The hospital authorities refused to admit him because there were no empty beds. Dabhalkar decided to vacate his bed for the woman's husband. It was surprising to know that a 85 year old was vacating the bed for another man. 

Dabhalkar said, "I am 85. I have a short life ahead. I have lived my life well. The woman's husband is 40. He has a long life ahead. So I want to vacate my bed to save his life. The shocked doctor agreed but asked them for a written statement. He writes and gave that he was willingly vacating the bed for another patient. Despite dipping oxygen levels, Dabhalkar went against the medical advice of the doctors and opted to give the bed to the 40-year-old man. 

The octogenarian then called his daughter and told her about the situation. According to the daughter, they had got the bed after a lot of effort but then Dabhalkar had said he has lived his life. The 40-year-old man has a long life ahead and has the responsibility of his family and children. Dabhalkar said that his children had grown up and preferred to spend his last moments with the family. Dabhalkar was brought home and three days later, he died at his home. 

After his death, news of Dabhalkar's act of sacrifice to save another person's life went viral. Shocking isn't it! Mr. Dabhalkar has died, but his act will remain immortal. A salute to him. I just told you the story of Mr. Dabhalkar's sacrifice. However, there were some news reports that said that the incident never happened & the story was fake. The doctor in charge of the hospital said that Mr. Dabhalkar was admitted on 22nd April. During the treatment, doctors informed the relatives that if his condition deteriorates, he will have to be moved to a different hospital. 

The family agreed. After some time the family returned and sought his discharge. The hospital doesn't know the reason. The news about him giving up his bed is fake. Mr. Dabhadkar’s daughter was upset with the news of the story being fake. Mr. Dabhalkar’s daughter released a video clearing the doubts. In the video, she said that her father being treated at the hospital is completely true. While being treated, he heard the chaos of people looking for a bed. That is when he decided to vacate his bed saying he has already lived a full life. She said that the story was absolutely true.

India Crosses 1-Lakh Mark In Daily COVID-19 Cases For First Time

 

The News Cover: now India has crossed the one lakh mark's it's reported more than one lack of coronavirus cases in 24 hours remember this is the first since the pandemic began that India has reported these many cases crossed at one lakh mark in a 24 hour period one lakh three thousand five hundred and fifty-eight cases reported.

in the last 24 hours let's go across to the numbers 478 deaths in the last 24 hours and the total recovery and active cases so far are 7 lakh 41 830 and the number of deaths due to coronavirus in the country 

so far is one lakh 65 thousand one hundred and one so a big breaking news India has crossed that one lakh mark if we can show you the coronavirus curve in the country and you can see how the peak from the last wave is lower than the peak from this wave and this wave has been a lot steeper as well it as you can see 

the climb is has been a lot steeper we'll just bring up that wave in just a moment but let's go to the graph and let's go across we've crossed that very grim milestone reporting over one lakh cases in 20 for Maharashtra of course 

the worst affected state announcing measures but tell us more about what the government is now doing well as far as the measures are concerned the manager government has already said that if there is no other option there will be a lockdown once again there will be certain restrictions as far as the central government is concerned yes there have been certain meetings that have taken place in the past few days

 there is no clarity as to how the government is planning to put curbs as far as fan India is concerned because the number of cases has in fact reached the highest as far as 24 hours are concerned more than one lakh three thousand cases now this is the highest ever number of forever 19 cases the last time 

the number was around 97 000 even at the peak on 17th December when we were talking the number of highest last year or the graph, however, was less cheap than this one because in just February we saw that less than 10 000 cases were being reported and we are here just in the starting of April and the numbers have already crossed one lakh mark 

now this is going to be a big worry not only for the government but also for the people and the healthcare workers who are working around the clock as far as containment measures are concerned treating people are concerned and not long before the number of 419 cases will not only be concentrated in just Maharashtra because a lot of people who have been traveling from Maharashtra to other states there is always a worry that the cases might spread to other states as well

Vaccine price cannot be more than 250 rupees

 

The News Cover: Finally, after clearing the fog, the Center has released a detailed list of government hospitals as well as some private hospitals in the country that can provide Corona antidote. Only five private hospitals in West Bengal in the list! As a result, the entire pressure of giving antidote in the polls will fall on the government hospitals. The Center has asked the state to be proactive in increasing the number of private hospitals. According to the Ministry of Health, private hospitals can charge a maximum of Rs 250 per dose of antidote. Of this, service charge is 100 rupees and antidote is 150 rupees.

Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gowda today held a separate meeting with the chief secretaries of eight states, including West Bengal, on the Corona situation. According to sources, the meeting directed the voters to start vaccination in the districts where the rate of infection is high, while ensuring that the voters in the polling states get the vaccine.

Sometimes only Sunday. After that, the vaccination campaign of 26 crore people of the country is going to start from Monday. Of these 26 crores, there are two types of people. One, those in their sixties. Two, who are between the ages of 45-59, but have long been victims of certain chronic diseases or problems.

The Ministry of Health has not been able to find a clear answer to the question of how much the medicine will cost, which private hospital it will be available for, and how to register. Today, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan met with Health Secretaries of all the states to discuss the details of the vaccination campaign. According to health ministry sources, the final list of private hospitals was received from the states at that meeting. After that, one can stand in line to take antidote at a private hospital in a state, the center said. In Uttar Pradesh, 1545 private hospitals will provide antidotes. But according to the central list, the service will be available in only five private hospitals in West Bengal. According to sources, The Center has urged the state administration to lobby for more private hospitals to be vaccinated in states like West Bengal. However, states have been asked to ensure that immunization centers are set up in government hospitals in every state except private hospitals.

Health workers and frontline workers are getting antidotes for free. Of the 26 crore people who will take antidote from government hospitals, they also do not have to spend money. The center had earlier said that the vaccine would have to be taken from a private hospital in exchange for money. The Center has set a maximum price of Rs 250 for a single dose of Corona Antidote so that private hospitals do not have to sit on the sidelines.

The question was how 27 crore people would register to take the antidote. Today, the Ministry of Health has clarified three ways. One, through the Co-Win application. However, as the modernization of the app is underway today and tomorrow, it is not possible to register in it at the moment. According to the source, the names can be registered through the app from tomorrow evening or Monday morning. Consumers will be able to register at a vaccination center near their home with GPS integration with this app.

Two, you can go to any vaccination center and show your age certificate directly. If you are over sixty years of age, you will get antidote. If you are between the ages of 45 to 59 and have 20 physical problems or diseases, you need to show a doctor's certificate. The list includes more than ten years of diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic kidney and liver problems, leukemia, HIV, sickle cell, heart problems, etc.

Three, the concerned state administration has to ensure that consumers are given antidotes in a group in one area. While West Bengal is among the eight states with which the Cabinet Secretary is meeting today to discuss the Corona situation, the situation in six states, mainly Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, is of concern to the Center. In Maharashtra, 7333 people are still infected with corona. 361 people in Kerala. According to the Ministry of Health, the problems of each state are discussed in detail today. Where the situation is worrisome, there is an equivalent discussion of how many tests are being done. At the meeting, the center did not increase the corona test, The Center has emphasized the need to ensure that voters are vaccinated and that vaccination campaigns be launched in all districts where infections are high. If a 'cluster' of infection is found, the area should be declared a containment zone and surveillance should be increased. Special attention should also be paid to whether new strains of coronavirus are being found somewhere.
