Bengaluru, May 4 : The Private Hospitals & Nursing Homes Association (Phana) on Monday set up a portal to provide bed status in private hospitals across Bengaluru for treating Covid patients under their quota.
"A dedicated portal 'Search My Bed' has been launched to provide information on bed availability in the city's private hospitals under their quota, which is 50 per cent of their capacity, for treating Covid patients," said Phana in a statement.
To meet the growing demand for beds due to rising cases during the pandemic's second wave, the state government has directed private hospitals and nursing homes to reserve 50 per cent of their beds to treat Covid patients referred by its Health Department or state-run hospitals.
