PUNE: The district health office plans to reserve around 6,156 beds for the treatment of children across government and private hospitals in view of the possibility of the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Data from district health officials revealed that 3,469 beds will be reserved in the government hospitals, while 2,687 beds will be reserved in private set-ups for children. The beds will include oxygen supported beds, ventilator supported ICU beds and isolation beds.
The most number of beds will be reserved in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) limits.
Manisha Naik, PMC’s nodal officer for bed management, told TOI, “This is preliminary planning that we have done regarding the available resources in the civic and private facilities. Apart from children, we have told the hospitals to be ready to treat adults, just like in the previous two waves.”
Naik said they would have over 14,000 beds comprising oxygen supported beds, ventilator supported ICU beds and isolation beds for treating adult Covid patients.
PCMC officials said they were working on creation of dedicated children’s wards in civic facilities. One such ward was created at New Jijamata Hospital a few weeks back, while another one at Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital was inaugurated on Tuesday.
