Major district hospitals like the Khulna and Rajshahi medical college hospitals are currently overwhelmed and struggling to give treatment to Covid-19 patients. One of the main reasons behind this is: despite all districts except Panchagarh and Faridpur currently having central oxygen plants, most district hospitals are not equipped to deal with critical coronavirus patients who need high-flow oxygen because of a shortage of life-saving high-flow nasal cannulas. According to a report in this daily, of the 1,714 high-flow nasal cannulas being used at health facilities across the country, 1,059 are in Dhaka division alone. At least 56 hospitals across the country have less than five high-flow nasal cannulas and 15 hospitals have zero high-flow nasal cannulas, even though almost all hospitals have supply from central oxygen plants.
