MUMBAI, India
Inside Mumbai’s BKC jumbo field hospital, a health worker adjusts the oxygen mask of a COVID-19 patient as doctors, nurses and specialists keep a close eye and monitor hundreds of sick people.
The pop-up mega hospital in India’s financial capital is mounted with tents and metal partitions and looks like a war room. It has a capacity of more than 2,000 beds with state-of-the-art medical facilities, including intensive care units and beds with oxygen and ventilators. It is mostly full.
Its doctors and nurses constantly monitor patients, holding the hands of some to calm them as they have problems breathing, or touching them to see how responsive they are. In some cases they help patients use a mobile phone to speak to family members, who are not allowed visit.

âWeâll either contract Covid here or get a sunstroke,â said Lillian Dâsouza, 76, her face lined with anguish.
Dâsouza was standing inside Mumbaiâs biggest vaccination facility, the Bandra Kurla Complex Jumbo Centre, run by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. On Tuesday, May 4, the Maharashtra government resumed its vaccination drive for those aged 45 and above in select facilities in the city, after a halt of five days owing to short supply of vaccines.
