Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), with support from NGOs, is set to launch “extension centres” of government medical college hospitals to provide COVID-19 treatment for city residents. These extension centres will have dedicated teams of doctors and nurses to provide treatment to COVID-19 patients and save their lives during the pandemic, reducing the load in government tertiary care hospitals. Many residents have died because of a delay in reaching tertiary care hospitals, with the city registering around 7,000 cases a day. On May 16, Corporation Commissioner Gagandeep Singh Bedi visited schools such as Don Bosco, Egmore to develop COVID care “extension centre” of Kilpauk Medical College Hospital.
