Clamour for Bengaluru’s government-quota beds from patients in other districts

However, without a BU number, they cannot be allotted a bed even if there is one vacant
When 64-year-old Tumakuru resident Gangamma’s condition deteriorated after being diagnosed with COVID-19, her relatives were unable to find a government-quota bed for her in the district. The family cannot afford a private hospital. In a desperate move, they brought her to Bengaluru hoping to get a bed in the civic body’s government quota. But even though beds were available, she couldn’t be assigned one. “Only city-based patients with a Bengaluru Urban (BU) number are allotted government beds in the city,” said her son Ramesh. The family eventually got a Rapid Antigen Test for Gangamma using the address of a relative who lives in Bengaluru.
