The landmark British-era Walker hospital -an army property which was gutted in a devastating fire in 1999 and could not be operationalised even after its complete reconstruction -will now serve as Covid care centre in Shimla.
As part of the massive efforts to boost Covid care facilities in the capital city, which is witnessing shortage of beds and over-exhausted health care infrastructure, this refurbished and revamped 1902 property will add at least another 100 beds for Covid patients. From 1954 to 1990, Walker hospital had served as the biggest facility for the army personnel and their families.
