Covid Care Centres are being developed on a broader scale to ensure adequate arrangement of beds for the patients with public and Government support, in view of the increasing cases of Corona infection. Many social organisations are voluntarily coming forward for this on the appeal of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

The state’s largest and country’s second largest Covid Care Center has been developed at The Radha Soami Satsang Beas Ashram located on Khandwa Road in Indore. This state-of-the-art Covid Care Center built with public support is being started with 600 beds. An action plan to increase its beds capacity to 6000 has also been made.

The trial run of the largest Covid Care Center of the state was conducted on Thursday morning. Once everything goes well, the Rapid Response Team will start admitting patients. There will also be arrangements for treatment, food and entertainment of patients. Serials like Ramayana, Mahabharata will be broadcast through 10 big LEDs. The medical staff to be deployed at the center have been fully trained. Efforts will be made to provide medical facility to the patient at the center itself.

Less symptomatic / asymptomatic patients brought by the Rapid Response Team at the center and recommended by doctors, who do not have home isolation facilities in their home or patients whose health status needs to be regularly monitored, will be kept here. All necessary facilities and resources will be provided for proper treatment of patients at the center. The center is divided into four parts. Four major hospitals of Indore, Medanta Hospital, Bombay Hospital, Choitharam Hospital and Rajshri Apollo Hospital have been entrusted with the responsibility of supervision of the center. The medical staff of these hospitals will provide medical facilities at the center. Also, in case of serious conditions, patients can also be referred to other hospitals in ambulance.
