NEW DELHI: Faced with criticism over shortage of beds and adequate facilities in hospitals, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led Delhi government on Tuesday launched a mobile app that gives a live status on the number of hospital beds, ventilators and ICU beds available in the city.
The app also has an option to address grievances of patients who are refused a bed in hospitals despite availability. There have been reports across social media of a large number of patients being denied services in covid-19 dedicated hospitals in the country.
Delhi has over 20,000 positive covid-19 cases, making it one of the worst affected states in the country. “The cases of corona are growing but we have made provisions for patients to get appropriate treatment.
