Spokesperson of the hospital and joint registrar, Ajit Kumar said the new plant will get operational in a week. “We will be able to add at least 200 more beds which will have dedicated oxygen supply. Many patients had to be turned away due to the high occupancy levels. Also the present storage tank requires refilling three to four times in a day,” Kumar said.

The hospital has a total of 720 beds, of which 80 are reserved for providing intensive care while the remaining 110 have dedicated oxygen supply. 530 beds do not have any kind of oxygen support at present.
