Vadodara: The officially killed victim in Vadodara during the third wave of Covid-19 which reached its peak in January stood in 27.
But Toi had details of 42 patients who surrendered to Covid at the SSG hospital which was only held in the same month in the same month.
Increasing concerns over reporting mortality related Covid, Vadodara Health Bulletin Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) reflects only 27 deaths between January 1 and January 31.
Considering the death of Covid-19 patients in hospitals and prominent medical hospitals including GMers, Gotri, the victim was actually more than 70.
SSG saw the first death of the Covid-19 patient on January 12.
Between January 12 and January 31, the hospital saw 42 deaths in one month, which was only four of Vadodara Regency.
On the contrary, the VMC health bulletin reflects the first death of Covid-19 patients on January 15.
On this date, the General Hospital has seen three patients who give up on the virus.
In fact, until January 21, the bulletin did not reflect another death while the patient continued to surrender to a government hospital where the death toll reached 15.
Trying to a health bulletin, the death toll officially reached 650 January 2011 at the end of January.
The official death toll released by VMC and the Gujarat government are under the scanner since the second wave when patients with comorbidities do not count if the death audit report shows that the main cause is comorbidity.
In the third wave, even deaths like that are being counted.
The source said the system was changed after the Supreme Court order and the high number of claims for death compensation.
This became clear from the history of patients who died in the third wave and were included in the death toll.
The VMC Medical Officer (Health) Dr.
Devesh Patel said the data difference was because SSG expressed death as soon as they occurred.
“We have to wait for the death audit report and then enter the deaths in the data.
This report takes several days delaying the death declaration in the health bulletin,” he said.
