Noida: A dashboard with details of oxygen, ICU and ventilator beds available for Covid patients in Noida and Greater Noida is expected to go live from Wednesday. The portal will, however, not reflect real-time status and will be updated twice or thrice a day, officials said.
Getting a hospital bed has been nothing short of a nightmare for families of hundreds of Covid patients and the lack of information has added to problems. The dashboard is expected to plug some of that gap.
Though Noida and Greater Noida brand themselves as hi-tech cities, the administration and health department only acted after the state government issued directions to all district magistrates to set up such dashboards. “The directorate of medical and health services (UP) has created a similar dashboard. We are checking if the data can be integrated with it,” said DM Suhas LY.
