The Centre is strengthening medical infrastructure in all ESI, Railway, Defence and AIIMS hospitals across the country to convert them into COVID healthcare facilities in order to deal with the second wave COVID surge, said Union Minister of State for Home G. Kishan Reddy on Monday “We could not anticipate the huge number of COVID cases in the second wave after successfully containing the first wave,” he said after inspecting AIIMS-Bibinagar on the outskirts of the capital. The DRDO is working on bringing out a cheaper vaccine with indigenous research and development soon into the market to add to the country's vaccine arsenal, he said. The Minister admitted to the unfolding tragedy across the nation and the exponential rise in the positive cases which has led to shortage of medicines, oxygen and beds with families devastated losing near and dear ones.
