Stung by 2nd Covid Wave, Niti Aayog Says 2 Lakh ICU Beds Must be Readied by Sept, Predicts 23% Hospitalisation

News 18  

The group headed by NITI Aayog member V K Paul, in their recommendation shared with the government last month, has suggested preparing 23 hospitalisations for every 100 positive cases in a future Covid-19 infection surge. This estimation is higher than the projection the group had made in September 2020 ahead of the second wave, when it calculated that about 20% of patients with “severe/ moderately severe” symptoms would require hospitalisation, The Indian Express reported. Being ready for worse, the group is taking into account a peak of four-five lakh cases per day and has made a suggestion- two lakh ICU beds should be readied by next month- including 1.2 lakh ICU beds with ventilators, 7 lakh non-ICU hospital beds, and 10 lakh Covid isolation care beds. In September 2020, months ahead of the second wave, the group had estimated that of 100 positive cases, 20 would need hospitalisation, with three requiring ICU care.
