The BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is all set to upgrade its Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) COVID-19 jumbo center into a complete air conditioned facility in the coming weeks. With the temperature rising, patients admitted in this centre have complained of a drop in oxygen levels due to the increased humidity in the day. The BKC jumbo centre is one of the largest facilities in Mumbai, which has a capacity of 2,300 plus beds, that includes 800 plus oxygen beds and 120 plus ICU beds.
This is the only dedicated COVID-19 facility that is available for Mumbaikars in Bandra east, Bandra Kurla Complex, Khar and Santacruz. Gurunanak Hospital is open only for BMC staff only and VN Desai Hospital is not taking any COVID-19 patients.
