Bhubaneswar: Facing a surge in dengue cases, the Capital Hospital authorities on Monday asserted that the facility has adequate beds to admit patients for treatment of the vector-borne disease.
Director of Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar, said Laxmidhar Sahoo said wards in the hospital are empty due to the decline in COVID cases. “There is no dearth of beds and we can admit more than 100 dengue patients considering that the wards are empty,” he said.
