The hospital now has closed nine large wards dedicated to Covid.
“In the second wave, we have covid and non-covid services going on.
Even during its peak, we have 700 non-covid patients who seek consultation in the outpatient unit.
Now opd footsteps are not less than 1,200 a day,” said Lewin.
Some hospital doctors have also rested for a moment from work, including those who have traveled to the Himalayas, after the Covid case declined.
