MADURAI: Government Rajaji Hospital in Madurai has opened a 50-bed paediatric Covid treatment facility, with doctors on duty round the clock.
The ward is equipped with all facilities including oxygen beds to treat the young children, GRH dean Dr A Rathinavel said.
Children being brought to the facility would be attended to immediately, he added.
The dean said the number of children brought for Covid treatment was low.
Only six children had come for treatment in the second wave.
“Four of them are under treatment in the new facility now.
They are being monitored round the clock,” he said.
