AHMEDABAD: Naseem Belim, a resident of Santalpur in Patan, reels under the shock of losing her maternal aunt Alima, 80, to Covid pandemic. “I took her in an auto and travelled for nearly 100 km in and around our village, but not a single hospital – private or government-run – could get us a bed with oxygen,” she recounts.
But what shocked her was the waiting of 50 patients at a government hospital. “They took my number and promised to call once the bed is available. Meanwhile, my aunt died on Monday due to Covid complications and we buried her. But as of Tuesday evening, we are still to hear from the hospital – apparently, we have not moved up the wait list,” says a distraught Naseem.

The platform is open for all businesses and different parameters and benchmarks have been set based on the sizes of the companies.
Supply chain financing platform Vayana Network, in partnership with CRIF Solutions, on Monday introduced the Good Business Score (GBS), a tech based tool to help India’s MSMEs measure and manage their business health effectively. GBS is aimed to help MSMEs signal their worth to prospective business partners, stand apart from competition, and improve by understanding their own strengths and weaknesses. The score will also serve as a criterion for large corporates and lenders associating with MSME businesses.
