Ghaziabad: The district administration on Saturday added four more hospitals for the treatment of Covid patients. With this, the number of Covid hospitals in the city increased to 42 and the bed capacity to nearly 3,000.
The newly added hospitals for Covid care include Columbia Asia, Shivam, Prem Dharm and Shreya. “The combined bed capacity at hospitals in Ghaziabad stands at 2,977,” said an official.
Columbia Asia hospital along NH-9 has 21 general and fiveICU beds, Shivam Hospital in Rajnagar has 10 oxygen and five ICU beds, Prem Dharm hospital in Vasundhara has 25 oxygen and three ICU beds, and Shreya hospital in Sahibabad has 22 oxygen and 10 ICU beds. “In the days to come, we will acquire more hospitals for Covid care,” added the official.
Noida/Ghaziabad: The district administration of Gautam Budh Nagar has stopped all private hospitals that have run out of oxygen or have inadequate stock from admitting Covid patients. Most facilities have been grappling with dwindling oxygen stock for the past few days.
“The only difference between a bed at home and a bed at a hospital is that the hospital should be able to provide oxygen. When there is no oxygen, why should a hospital admit a patient? That is not treatment. So, we have stopped all private hospitals that have run out of oxygen from admitting patients. We are continuously expanding ICU facilities and have currently got 2,500 ICU beds. We can treat 3,000 Covid patients now,” district magistrate Suhas LY told TOI.
