Bokaro: Steel major Vedanta Group’s Covid hospital to remain unused till 3rd wave

BOKARO: Steel major Vedanta Group’s 100-bed Covid field hospital, inaugurated by chief minister Hemant Soren on Tuesday, will not be put to use at the moment and the facility will be kept on standby for the third wave of the pandemic predicted later this year.
The makeshift structure made of German Hangars is equipped with oxygen supply and other modern medical amenities.
Vedanta, which has invested in installing a makeshift Covid-19 facility at Library Ground of Sector-5 in Bokaro Steel Township, has handed over the facility to the district health department, which will now deploy doctors and other staff and make it operational.
Sources said according to the deal, Vedanta will build and maintain the structure while the health department will run it.
Bokaro civil surgeon Dr A K Pathak said, “Vedanta has handed over the temporary field hospital to the district health department.
With active Covid cases showing a downward trend, there is no optimum use of the facility at present.
Seeing the improving situation, we have decided to keep the facility for the third wave.” Pathak said the 100-bed field hospital has 40 beds for children and 10 beds are equipped with ventilators for serious patients.
“Our preparation for the third wave is on,” he said.
