PMSSY block at medical college lacks enough manpower, equipment
The new building constructed under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) at the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, is yet to be fully utilised for COVID-19 treatment because of lack of facilities and manpower. It was converted as a COVID treatment facility in the last week of April when the second wave of the pandemic hit the district and the number of infected persons started going up. The building was supposed to have 200 beds with centralised oxygen facility. Two floors of the five-storeyed structure are being utilised for the purpose.More Related News
