Pimpri Chinchwad in the last few months is seeing surge in cases. The city is adding atleast 3000 cases daily and most of the patients are landing in the hospital with severe illness. Most of the covid hospitals are running out of beds and other medical facilities. Hence, we decided to start a Covid center at Lokmanya hospital with 57 oxygen beds, ICU and ventilator beds.
