Covid: Centre set up in Baru Sahib in pvt partnership

Solan, April 25

The district administration of Sirmaur has roped in a private sector-run Akal Charitable Trust to cater to the burgeoning number of Covid cases at Baru Sahib in Sarahan subdivision. A 100-bed hospital run by the trust has been notified as a Dedicated Covid Care Centre (DCCC) by the district magistrate.

The number of such centres has now risen to three in the district, two others being at Sarahan and Rampurghat.

“The infrastructure and logistics were found apt in an inspection conducted by the Chief Medical Officer. The Medical Superintendent has agreed to provide due medical staff with supportive staff for managing the cases as per the laid protocol,” said Deputy Commissioner, Sirmaur, Dr RK Pruthi.

The Ayurvedic Medical Officer, Pacchad, has also been deputed for 12 hours to monitor and supervise the centre on a routine basis. Three doctors, four nurses, two ward attendants and four housekeeping staffers have been provided for this centre. — TNS
