Mumbai runs out of beds in ICUs, patients suffer | DataBaaz

There is a severe shortage of ICU beds in Mumbai for coronavirus patients as there is influx of patients coming from outside Mumbai to seek treatment for Covid-19. In fact 30% - 40% patients occupying ICU beds in the city are from outside Mumbai where the disease is raging, says Dr. Gautam Bhansali to Govindraj Ethiraj. The city's health infrastructure which seemed to be coping well with the Covid-19 crisis in July and August is once again, faltering. The crisis is also exacerbated by the closure of nursing homes which has led to a crunch in ICU beds for covid patients.
