The hospital has started COVID treatment for the time being with 120 beds, including 20 ICU beds, 400 oxygen cylinders, etc. While the state government spent over Rs 365 crore to reconstruct the hospital, a private nursing home will jointly run the hospital with the government due to lack of necessary infrastructure, Hakim was quoted as saying.
