OSD Dr. Vinod Rao reviewed the situation at SSG Hospital where 503 patients were admitted at present. He said that since the inflow of new patients at OPD is less, after a gap of 46 days, the net total admitted at SSG Hospital might go below 500 today. It had crossed 500 on 3rd April.
They are coordinating with GMSCL to get a timely supply of injections and medicines. However, there is a cause of worry as they have 110 patients admitted in Mucormycosis Ward.
