Burden on private hospitals increasing

Aurangabad, March 24:

The number of corona patients in the city is increasing rapidly. As a result, the burden on private hospitals is increasing. Most of the private hospital beds are full. However, doctors and staff are trying their best to provide treatment. However, on the one hand, new patients are being added every day, while on the other hand, despite increasing the capacity, the hospitals are quickly running out of beds.

As compared to last year, the number of private hospitals treating corona patients has increased. The number of beds has also increased, but the beds in these private hospitals are still falling insufficient for the patients. Therefore, the hospitals are planning to further increase the number of beds, but they are facing a shortage of manpower. Similarly, hospitals also have to treat other patients with various ailments. In such a scenario, private hospitals are facing difficulties in providing timely treatment to all patients.

Capacity increased than before

Private hospitals are under more pressure this time than last year. The number of patients is increasing day by day. As a result, the hospitals are finding it difficult to increase the number of beds as compared to the number of patients said, Dr Himanshu Gupta, president, Marathwada Hospital Association.
