Mumbai (Maharashtra): As India fights the COVID-19 pandemic, a doctor in Mumbai has set an example by donating his 100 beds hospital for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
In Mumbai's Chembur area, Zen Multispeciality Hospital and Joy Hospital's owner, Dr. Roy Patankar has donated at least 100 beds to handle an influx of patients with the spread of COVID-19.
Both hospitals have an occupancy of 100 beds. Due to some legal issues, Joy hospital was shut for the past three years.
In such a gloomy situation, there's a huge need for places where the patients can be quarantined and treated. Hence Dr. Patankar has decided to donate the hospital for a quarantine facility.
