Hospitals attached to the medical college getting more facilities
As the fear of a possible third wave lingers over the rise in Omicron cases, the healthcare infrastructure in Mysuru city that handled the first two waves of COVID-19 is being ramped up, adding more number of oxygenated beds.
Experts of Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI) and the hospitals attached to it have been asked to deal with any shortages and ramp up the facilities, including procurement of essential drugs for treatment.
As the demand for medical oxygen rose exponentially in the second wave, nearly 80 per cent of beds in hospitals under MMCRI have been converted into oxygenated beds, establishing a dedicated channel for medical oxygen supplies to deal with any shortage. Another 6 kl oxygen tank is being set up on K.R. Hospital premises to cater to demand, if any, in the days ahead.
