Madhya Pradesh Affairs

The unprecedented rise in cases during the second wave led to increasing pressure on the public health infrastructure, raising the need for augmentation of beds and allied equipment across the State to ensure that nobody, irrespective of their economic and social status be denied the right to treatment for Covid-19.

The last wave in Madhya Pradesh peaked at 22,000 Active Cases with maximum hospitalization requirement of 4500 patients across Madhya Pradesh. The public across districts was more than adequate to effectively manage the case load, with less than 50% occupancy observed across Government tertiary Health care centers- the Government medical colleges.

But the State Government had already started planning for the worst, rapidly increasing bed capacities across primary, secondary and tertiary health care centers, ensuring every district had the adequate number of beds in the worst-case scenario.
