Ten people have died due to dengue at Safdarjung Hospital, officials from South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) said. Some other hospitals have also reported to the civic bodies about deaths due to dengue. In the last two weeks have seen an increase in dengue cases in the national capital and neighbouring towns. This, doctors say, has led to a shortage of beds in many hospitals. Hospitals like AIIMS, Ram Manohar Lohia, Lok Nayak, Sir Ganga Ram, Apollo and Max hospitals are continually increasing the beds for dengue patients.
