Doctors question Delhi govt's focus on creating more beds, raise concern on dearth of ICU beds

Doctors are frustrated with the way the Delhi government is opening more and more Covid care facilities in banquet halls and hotels even as more than 9,000 Covid beds in hospitals lie vacant. They questioned the government’s focus on creating more beds, while the looming shortage is of ICU beds with ventilators, of which less than 300 are currently unoccupied. The biggest demand is for ICU beds, especially ventilator beds. Nearly 65% of non-ICU Covid beds in Delhi are vacant. While data on Covid care centres is not available regularly, the last update on July 2 showed over 75% of beds, about 6,000, were vacant in the existing ones.
