Bihar: MSF to set up COVID-19 treatment facility in Patna

by

To fight the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) will soon launch its response to coronavirus in Patna, Bihar.

The teams are working to set up a 100-bed COVID-19 treatment facility in the indoor stadium of Patliputra Sports Complex, Patna with the purpose of treating cases of COVID-19.

The intervention aims to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with the COVID-19 outbreak in Patna.

This facility will help in decongesting the government hospitals to allow more effective resource management of severe cases of COVID-19.
