In a bid to help India battle the massive second COVID-19 wave, Reliance Foundation is setting up a 1000-bed Covid Care facility with oxygen supply in Jamnagar of Gujarat state

The hospital would provide free of cost services to the patients, and the entire expenses of setting up and running the facility would be borne by Reliance Industries.

“The first phase of 400 beds will be ready within a week, and the other 600 beds in another week,” said Foundation Chairperson Nita Ambani.

The company will provide the necessary manpower, medical support, equipment and other disposable items.

The state government would coordinate in ensuring the hospital is staffed with doctors and nursing staff.

The facility will provide relief to people living in Jamnagar, Khambhalia, Dwarka, Porbandar and other regions of Saurashtra, said a Foundation release(SAM)
