The new ward is step-down facility for two government hospitals
A total of 13 patients were admitted to the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (IOG) on Friday, a day after a new ward with 100 beds to accommodate COVID-19 patients was commissioned. The Health Department augmented beds in the maternity hospital as part of its effort to increase bed strength in the city. The IOG facility will be used as a step down ward, where patients would be shifted after they have been stabilised at either the Tamil Nadu Government Multi Super Speciality Hospital, Omandurar Estate, or at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital.More Related News
