Dengue Delhi Hospital Beds

The Delhi Government has asked all the hospitals to reserve 10-15% of their hospital beds for vector borne diseases (VBD) patients, taking cognizance of the current situation with dengue cases, especially dengue, in the national capital.

Did India's political leaders learn anything from the deadly second wave of Covid-19? Hospitals in the capital, New Delhi, are once again overwhelmed with patients and the health authorities don't have beds for them.

The Delhi government has directed state-run hospitals to use one-third of the COVID-19 beds for treatment of dengue, malaria and chikungunya patients in the capital, Health Minister Satyendar Jain said on Sunday.

Delhi government has said that hospitals may use one-third of the beds reserved for coronavirus patients for those suffering from vector-borne diseases, if the need arises.

The Centre will reserve 10 per cent beds at all its hospitals in the national capital for dengue and chikungunya patients, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain today said after meeting Union Health Minister J P Nadda.

With a spurt in dengue cases, the Delhi government on Monday asked all hospitals and nursing homes here to add up to 20 per cent extra beds and ordered them not to deny admission to patients suffering from the vector-borne disease.

As part of the initiatives to tackle dengue in the national capital, 400 new beds were bought by the state government, which would soon be placed in hospitals handling the highest number of cases.

The Delhi government may buy 1,000 new beds for state-run hospitals to accommodate the rising number of dengue patients in the national capital, Health Minister Satyendar Jain today said.

In order to accommodate rising numbers of dengue patients, Delhi government has decided to immediately increase 795 beds in 48 new private hospitals and nursing homes on a temporary basis by granting them provisional registration certificates for three months.

Four more people succumbed to dengue in the capital, taking the death toll to 20, prompting the Delhi government to approve nearly 800 additional beds in 48 private hospitals as the city's health facilities crawled under heavy rush of patients affected by the disease.

As Delhi grapples with the worst outbreak of dengue in five years, hospitals are groaning under shortage of beds and doctors complaining of being overworked.

Diagnosed with dengue, it has just been a few hours since Prasad Kumar was admitted to the Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) hospital, but such is the rush for patients wanting to get admitted for the mosquito-borne disease, that he has to share the bed with 30-year-old Amit Kumar, as Delhi faces its worst such outbreak in five years.

Grappling with the worst dengue outbreak in five years, Delhi government today issued a "blanket order" giving its hospitals powers to employ more doctors and nursing staff and directed private hospitals to increase bed capacity to deal with rising cases of the vector-borne disease.

The surge in dengue cases in the national capital have led to a serious space crunch in government hospitals with a facility in east Delhi operating a fever clinic from the driver's room while another prominent hospital has emptied its ortho and eye wards to accommodate patients.
