This aims to substantially augment the hospital infrastructure for effective clinical management of severe COVID-19 patients across the country. Additionally, these dedicated hospital wards or blocks have to be equipped to provide all supportive and ancillary services including Oxygen supported beds, ICU beds, ventilators and specialised Critical Care Units (wherever available), laboratory services, imaging services, kitchen, laundry along with dedicated health work force.
