Additional COVID-19 Care Centres also being opened
While 4,300 beds are currently available with the BBMP to be allotted to COVID-19 patients from its quota (for which government will bear the costs), more beds are being added to the category, especially ICU beds, said Commissioner Gaurav Gupta. As on Saturday morning, only 600 of these beds were vacant, indicating the grim situation. “We have brought 150 ICU beds in Charaka Super Specialty Hospital into our bed matrix. We have also increased the number of beds in Victoria Hospital from 150 to 500. We are working towards increasing bed capacity in other hospitals as well. All private hospitals have to reserve 50% of their beds to our quota,” Mr. Gupta said on Saturday.More Related News
