Reliance is first with Corona dedicated hospital |
Reliance Industries Limited on Monday said that it has set up India`s first COVID-19 dedicated hospital in Mumbai that includes a negative pressure room that helps in preventing cross-contamination and helps control infection. RIL in an official statement said, "Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in collaboration with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, has set up a dedicated 100 bedded COVID-19 centre at Seven Hills Hospital, Mumbai for patients who test positive for COVID-19." It added that "This first-of-its-kind-in-India centre is fully funded by Reliance Foundation and includes a negative pressure room and all beds are equipped with the required infrastructure, biomedical equipment such as ventilators, pacemakers, dialysis machines, and patient monitoring devices. The Hospital has also offered to set up special medical facilities to quarantine travellers from notified countries and suspected cases identified through contact tracing. RIL also said that it will continue to pay its contract and temporary workers, even if work has halted due to the coronavirus pandemic. For those earning below Rs. 30,000 per month, salaries will be paid twice a month to protect their cash flow and mitigate any overwhelming financial burden.
