Ambala, April 26

Haryana Home and Health Minister Anil Vij on Monday appealed to Haryana IMA to provide doctors and paramedical staff as the state wants to set up extra hospitals to treat Covid positive patients, especially in Gurugram.

Speaking to media persons here, the minister said “We want to set up extra hospitals at places of need especially in Gurugram. We had a discussion and some people have agreed to make arrangements in Gurugram. While one person has agreed to set up a 400-bedded hospital and provide all equipment, another person has started setting up a 200-bedded hospital, but we need doctors.

I have requested the IMA to provide doctors and paramedical staff. We will make the other arrangements. In Haryana currently, Gurugram is the only place where we have issues and even in Gurugram, nearly 70 per cent of patients are from Delhi. But we have to make arrangements and we will definitely do whatever we can.”

Earlier in the morning, the minister also tweeted saying: “Haryana IMA is humbly requested to come forward in this Corona crisis. We want to create extra Corona Hospitals at places of need. For that, we are in need of more Doctors. Please come forward.”
