Coronavirus | Amid crisis, Delhi hospitals remain out of reach
The Hindu
Numbers on Govt website were not answered; despite listing, hospitals deny vacant beds
Amid the surging cases in the virulent second wave of the pandemic, lack of accurate information on the availability of beds has been a major obstacle for those seeking treatment. At 1 p.m. on Saturday, the Delhi government website on the availability of beds for COVID patients — coronabeds.jantasamvad.org — showed there were 1,798 beds available in 46 hospitals across the Capital. However, when The Hindu contacted these hospitals, only one said it had vacancies but only for pregnant women. However, getting through to the hospitals was a task in itself with many calls by this reporter unanswered, returning a busy signal or an ‘out of order’ message.More Related News
