Though we are adding new facilities and beds at regular intervals, it falls short against the demand as the inflow of coronavirus patients is much higher, says Nitin Patel
Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel on Sunday admitted that the present requirement of beds and other healthcare facilities in the wake of the spike in coronavirus cases is more than the state administrations's capacity. Mr. Patel, who handles health portfolio, said though the State government is adding more facilities and beds at regular intervals to accomodate more patients, it fell short of demand. "Over 9,000 new coronavirus cases are emerging in Gujarat everyday. Though we are adding new facilities and beds at regular intervals, it falls short against the demand as the inflow of coronavirus patients is much higher," Mr. Patel told reporters at civil hospital campus here.More Related News
