Background and Aim: With advent of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (covid-19) pandemic, need for a dedicated government hospital was felt. Following directions after a cabinet decision, a dedicated Covid hospital was made functional within a month in Central district of Delhi. This manuscript briefs the journey and challenges experienced during this mission. Method: As per decision of the state health ministry, bed allocation was planned along with provision for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Covid -19. Various trainings were simultaneously conducted, licences were obtained and manpower and material were arranged starting with procurement to service provision and waste management. Result: Concerted efforts resulted in initiation of clinical and diagnostic services within one month of initiation of teamwork. Government supported in all the licencing requirements and material management. The hospital became functional during the first wave; and by the start of second wave, 20-bedded fully equipped Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was ready with pressure swing adsorber (PSA) oxygen generator in premises. Conclusion: A well-coordinated action in the right direction with administrative support can help in achieving difficult targets. Opening a new hospital amidst lockdown and resource constraints in an emergency situation was a rewarding achievement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
