GURUGRAM: SGT Hospital, which is supposed to become the largest Covid facility in Gurugram with the government last week announcing a ramp-up to 500 beds, is not even equipped to admit patients to its current capacity of 100.
The hospital is at present treating only 38 patients because it does not have enough oxygen or infrastructure to admit any more. Of the 100 beds it’s supposed to have, only 60 are operational. But since there is no oxygen support to go beyond 38 patients, the 22 other beds are lying unused at a time when hospitals are overwhelmed and Covid patients are waiting days but are still unable to get admissions.
