Following a decline in cases, PHANA wants release of beds reserved for government quota
With no more than 13.6% of COVID-19 beds (including oxygen and ICU beds) allotted under government quota in hospitals across Karnataka being occupied, as of June 30, private hospitals want the beds they had ceded to the government during the peak of the second wave to be released. This is to ensure that they can treat patients with non-COVID-19 ailments. The beds can be re-alloted if the number of cases go up again in the coming days, according to doctors from private hospitals.More Related News
