| NC demands increase in bed strength, installation of oxygen plants | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 17: National Conference today expressed grave concern over alarming spike in COVID-19 cases in Jammu and lack of adequate infrastructural facilities to meet the challenge. “Situation is quite serious due to lack of oxygen, ventilators and above all availability of beds to cope up with the grim scenario”, senior National Conference leaders said in a joint statement and sought corrective measures on war footing for patient care and treatment. They demanded setting up of a thousand-bedded COVID Hospital on the pattern adopted by the Punjab government besides allocating more beds in the Government Medical College and Associated Hospitals to accommodate the patients whose number is increasing manifold with each passing day. The present strength of 608 beds out of the total capacity of 2637 capacity in the Associated Hospitals is meagre and needs to be revisited in view of the crisis like situation posed by the pandemic. The allocation of 203 beds out of 1077 in the GMC, 110 of 250 in CD Hospital, 70 out of 120 in the Psychiatry Hospital, 60 out of750 in SMG Hospital and 165 out of the 200 available beds in Maternity Hospital Gandhi Nagar is inadequate keeping in view the rise in the number of patients. |
