Kolkata: The Government of West Bengal has taken initiative to ensure that most of the 26,000 coved beds in public and private hospitals will be reserved for women. Most of all.

Ajay Chakraborty, director of health services, said 80 per cent of hospital beds are being reserved for women and 40 per cent for men. He added that “according to current statistics, a new variant of the corona called the delta variant is infecting all members of the family.” If babies are infected, their mothers are more likely to be infected. So we plan to arrange for them to stay together at the hospital. And in cases where the mother of the baby does not have the infection or they recover quickly, expert opinion is being sought. “

Ajay Chakraborty further said, “The rate of hospital admissions in children with coronary heart disease is very low as compared to adults in Bengal. In Bengal, when the Corona Second Wave was affecting about 20,000 people every day, only 200 children were being admitted to the hospital every day. We estimate it could reach 500 if too much. So we have to reserve 5% of our beds for Critical Care Unit and 10% for High Dependency Unit. But we are thinking of having 500 Pediatric Intensive Care Units and 1000 High Dependency Units keeping in mind that children are affected. But very importantly, for those children who are 1 month old or less, 6 corona beds will be provided in Special New Born Care Unit and New Born Intensive Care Unit all over Bengal. ”
