Private hospitals take the brunt of hospitalisations
The demand for hospitalisation has suddenly gone up in the State following an exponential increase in COVID-19 cases and this time, the private sector hospitals rather than the Government hospitals, seem to be taking on the burden.
During the Delta wave, the public sector hospitals, especially, the Government Medical Colleges had taken the brunt of the entire COVID burden and its fall-out on the treatment of other non-COVID illnesses had been devastating. This time, a conscious decision has been taken by the administration to shift the focus of treatment to homes and periphery hospitals so that Government medical colleges need take in only severe COVID cases.
