The sad plight

As all the hospitals in the town were flooded with COVID

patients, with at least 1 dying every 3 hours, Emayan’s health

deteriorated and he was rushed to the Government Hospital in

Tiruvannamalai. That night as he lay on the floor with his oxygen

mask, an old woman was rushed in and laid next to him in the

floor. Her oxygen level had dropped to 65, the health workers

pulled off Emayan’s oxygen mask leaving him frantically gasping

for breath just to save the dying woman. When he confronted the

health workers they said “Yours oxygen level is 85 and her’s

is 65” The old woman died in a few hours and the oxygen mask

was later given back to Emayan.

No beds in the hospital

This is the sad plight of every patient in the hospital now. There are no oxygen cylinders and patients

are losing their lives right in front their families. The pain and agony is excruciating. People’s hopes are

dwindling and the air is filled with fear and despair.

Crisis

Tiruvannamalai is one of the worst COVID hit towns in Tamil Nadu. Over 20% of the local population

has been tested positive so far. The death rate is increasing at an alarming rate, and many families are

struggling hard to save their loved ones. The Government is working on war footing to save the people,

but the efforts are futile with the very little resources available for such a vast population. Government

is reaching out to private hospitals and NGOs to support them in this critical situation. A dedicated

COVID CARE HEALTH CENTRE is the most urgent need of the hour. It is highly unbearable to see

people getting sick every day and dying right in front of our eyes.

Total Population 24,68,965
