New Delhi: Having realized that it would be difficult for patients as well as their relatives not to see their loved ones who are either admitted in the hospital or waiting outside it to hear something from each other, the Lok Naik Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital, which is one of the dedicated COVID-19 facilities in the national capital, has started a video calling service.
Coronavirus infected patients and their relatives/friends wanting to interact are really happy as they can now speak and see each other through this facility of video calling provided by the hospital administration.
It has been learnt that over 70 patients are benefiting from the service as they can interact live with their loved ones through the video calling facility. Each patient can interact with his or her relatives/friends for seven to ten minutes.
Similarly, a normal call facility is also available for the coronavirus patients and it does not have any time limit like that of the video calling. it is being used by 150 to 200 patients everyday.
Both the facilities are managed by a staff of 20 people, including security guards, nurses and doctors.
The service is being appreciated by all concerned as people could be seen leaving the hospital premises with a sense of satisfaction on their faces after speaking to their loved ones.
