Cytecare, in a joint effort along with healthtech startup
Cloudphysician, Canadian International School, Bengaluru-based NGO Humanist Centre for Medicine, the Bengaluru chapter of Entrepreneurs Organisation (EO), and other key stakeholders, has converted school hostel blocks into a
COVID-19 treatment centre as a non-profit venture
In a press note, Cytecare stated that the 120-bed Covid treatment centre has been developed by converting the Canadian International School's hostel into a step-down hospital.
It added that the Humanist Centre for Medicine and EO helped with the fundraising for the initiative.
Suresh Ramu, Co-founder and CEO, Cytecare Cancer Hospitals, who led this initiative, said, “While we cannot offer COVID-19 beds inside our cancer hospital, this was our way to serve the community. With the adoption of advanced process and technology, we have been able to scale this initiative in record time."
