New Delhi: At a time, when southern state Tamil Nadu is dealing with over 3 lakh active COVID-19 cases, infrastructure and real estate firms are aiding the state government in ramping up temporary beds and medical equipment across the state. As a part of this effort, Hyderabad-based Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL) is setting up beds in hospitals that already have oxygen facilities.
Last week, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin inaugurated 500 scalable oxygenated bed facilities at Thoppur Government Hospital in Madurai. The hospital will provide free-of-cost oxygen beds to the patients. According to MEIL, they could complete the entire work of setting up a 500-bed facility in a record time of 72 hours with the active contribution of Credai and G Square Realtors.
