Dr Tushar Palve said, "After Covid, we are seeing a drop in patient numbers. Many times patients ask for separate beds and are ready to pay for them. So, we decided to create a paid ward. This ward will have five separate cabins with two beds each, one for the patient and the other for a relative. The beds for patients are fully automatic like we see at private hospitals. The ward is fully air-conditioned."
As per hospital officials, per day charge for beds will be around Rs 800 for the first seven days. After that patients will be charged Rs 2,000 a day. Apart from this, there will be 35 general beds for patients, but the hospital is yet to decide on charges.
