Hospitals In Dakshina Kannada To Get 100 More Ventilator Beds

September 19: The Dakshina Kannada district administration has decided to add an additional 100 ventilator beds across the hospitals in the district. Ventilators will be provided to all the taluk-level hospitals, to ensure that number of patients getting admitted to Wenlock Hospital are reduced.
Deputy Commissioner Dr Rajendra K V said that ventilator supported beds are the need of the hour and all measures will be taken to implement the same.
So far, five ventilators each have been installed at the taluk government hospitals by the district administration.  25 ventilators have been installed outside Mangalore which will reduce the pressure on Wenlock Hospital. Patients from neighbouring districts ;ike Uttara Kannada, Kasargod and Kannur districts were getting admitted to Wenlock Hospital which leads to increase the number of ventilators.
