Bengaluru society takes Covid care to doorstep of residents, sets up emergency rooms inside complex

Residents of an apartment complex in Bengaluru converted their clubhouse into emergency medical rooms to provide medical assistance. The move was taken last year as a measure to tackle the second wave of COvid-19.

Amid the shortage of hospital beds and oxygen supply in Bengaluru, residents of Ranka Heights apartment complex in Domlur area have taken matters into their own hands. To tackle the situation that has emerged following the second wave of Covid-19, the residents of the Bengaluru apartment complex set up an Emergency Medical Room (EMR) in August last year with the assistance of Manipal Hospital. Now fully functional, emergency medical rooms have been set up in the clubhouse of the complex to provide care for those who have tested positive for Covid-19 or are suffering from breathlessness.
