Current facility in hospitals stretched due to heavy caseload
The Association of Healthcare Providers (India) (AHPI), Thiruvananthapuram chapter, on Friday announced plans to increase the total bed capacity for category ‘B’ and ‘C’ COVID-19 patients in member hospitals in the city by another 370 beds.
The decision was taken at an emergency COVID-19 crisis management meeting of the AHPI chapter in view of the sharp rise in cases. “The main issue in Thiruvananthapuram hospitals is the rapid increase in category B and C patients. Category B patients will require oxygen support while category C patients need critical care and even ventilation,” the AHPI said in a statement.
