This includes 2,895 beds with oxygen lines in Chennai, which leads the table in terms of maximum number of infections.

The additional facilities would be created at all the government medical college hospitals, district headquarters and taluk hospitals across the state. “In order to cater to the increasing demand for beds with oxygen lines, the Public Works Department has commenced the work to provide additional 12,370 beds with oxygen connections in all governmental hospitals,” a PWD release here said on Tuesday.

The move will not only help to cope up with the second wave of coronavirus this year but also provide quality medicare to the infected, it noted.

Work is underway to provide 2,895 beds with oxygen lines in Chennai this year, including 550 for the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital here. These are being created on war footing, the release added.

Further, oxygen beds are being created in other districts including Chengalpattu, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, Madurai and Tiruchirapalli. In March last year, the PWD established 27,806 beds at 138 government hospitals across Tamil Nadu, including intensive care units at an estimated cost of Rs 282.51 crore. This included 21,692 beds with oxygen lines in the state and 2,912 beds with oxygen connections for Chennai.

“The PWD is expeditiously providing requisite infrastructure required to overcome the crisis in consultation with the health officers, district collectors and PWD engineers in each district on a daily basis,” it said. Recently, Health Secretary Dr J Radhakrishnan had said 40 per cent of the beds at government hospitals were vacant, and that it had tied up with private medical college hospitals in Chennai suburbs, to accommodate the virus- infected.

Chief Minister K Palaniswami consented to add 2,400 oxygen beds at all medical college hospitals in Chennai. Oxygen beds at maternity hospitals, such as Government RSRM Hospital and the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, would also be made available, he added.
