THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Ever since a majority of the government hospitals were converted to Covid hospitals, non-Covid patients have had a harrowing time. People coming for rabies shots and treatment at de-addiction centres are among the most affected.
Under the circumstances, the Thiruvananthapuram General Hospital authorities have approached the district medical officer requesting to designate it as a non-Covid hospital from July 15. The General Hospital was converted into an exclusive Covid hospital last August after a spurt in the number of coronavirus cases in the capital.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The rising hospitalisation of Covid patients has started affecting non-Covid care, as was the case last year. Hospitals which had started functioning normally after being dedicated as Covid hospitals for almost a year have either been converted again as exclusive Covid care centres or are on the verge of becoming so.
“The non-Covid patients in intensive care were the ones who suffered the most when hospitals were dedicated to Covid treatment. It is going to be a tough decision to shift the critically ill to other hospitals,” said a doctor at the Thiruvananthapuram General Hospital (GH). The GH had resumed normal functions recently as the number of Covid patients declined. Now, Covid wards are nearly full with the district reporting 3,918 active patients.
