The KSRTC has revamped its 48-bed hospital in Jayanagar in an effort to strengthen critical care infrastructure ahead of a possible third wave of Covid-19.
The two-storeyed hospital was constructed by the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) in 1990-91. It has now been revamped as a children's hospital at a cost of Rs 99 lakh, of which Rs 66 lakh came from the Karnataka State Disaster Management Fund and Rs 35 lakh from Bangalore South parliamentarian L S Tejasvi Surya's MPLAD grants.
The revamped hospital was inaugurated on Sunday.
The new facility has 10 high dependency unit (HDU) beds and 38 general beds, besides a new oxygen plant with a capacity of 250 litres per minute and three 10-litre oxygen concentrators.
Private players also contributed to the hospital by donating patient monitors, HFNC machines and other medical equipment.
