The ventilators have stopped working due to an increase in oxygen pressure beyond the allowable limit

," the Romanian Department for Emergency Situations (DSU) said in a statement, adding that an investigation had been opened.

The three patients, three women over the age of 60 with a serious health history, died despite the efforts of healthcare workers to find a backup solution.

These patients were in a vehicle transformed into an intensive care unit, in front of a hospital in the Romanian capital.

Five other patients were transferred urgently to other establishments in the capital, according to the DSU.

This new tragedy comes less than three months after a fire that ravaged a Bucharest hospital in January, killing five Covid-19 patients.
