ICU bed management in PPP model from May 20: DC Rohini Sindhuri
1 min read
Mysuru: In Mysuru there has been a persistent need to increase ICU beds as the demand for the same has been there.
Even now there is a waiting of 25 patients in oxygen beds to shift to ICU, though there is no shortage of oxygen beds, according to Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri.
The challenges have been manpower (specialists, doctors, nurses ,group d) and equipment.
We are trying out this model in Mysuru from May 20 wherein doctors from Gopal Gowda Shantaveri hospital have collaborated with the super speciality hospital to monitor the ICU care. This solves the manpower issue, said DC.
Meritor Group’s Muthukumar has supplied the ICU beds, bipaps and monitors, addressing the equipment issue
We have been working on this for the past 15 days and from May 20 there will be 30 beds available and gradually be increased upto 100 ICU beds, added DC.
Hope this will ease the demand for ICU beds in Mysuru.
However since people from neighbouring districts and Bangalore too come to Mysuru in search for ventilators this has been a constant struggle, DC explained further.
MMCRI dean and director Dr C P Nanjaraj, Goapalagowda Hospital’s Dr Santhrupth, Ashakirana Charitable Trust Dr Gururaj, Kalyani Meritor group’s Muthukumar and nodal officer Dr Mohan were present.
