The statement came after reports on social media platforms alleged that the hospital was not providing enough care to COVID-19 patients
The Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (Jipmer) has denied reports on social media platforms that the institution had over 2,000 beds, but was providing care for only around 200 COVID-19 patients, keeping the remaining beds empty. In a press release, Jipmer Director Dr. Rakesh Agarwal said that this was incorrect. “As on date, Jipmer has 1,250 seriously ill non-COVID patients admitted in various specialities. In addition, it has dedicated 269 beds for COVID-19 services including 55 intensive care unit beds, each with a dedicated high-end ventilator and 214 beds with piped oxygen supply.”
