Telangana Government has installed 10 new ICU beds at AIIMS-Bibinagar

With the threat of a third wave looming over Telangana, the government has installed 10 ICU beds at the new AIIMS-Bibinagar, works for which were undertaken using CSR funds donated by a Telugu NRI group. The donors include Dr Satya Garimella, Uday Kumar and Krishna Kottapalli, who are part of a US-based organisation called CPR Team. 

The ICU beds will consist of high-end medical equipment like ventilators, monitors, defibrillators, ultrasound, 2D echo, dialysis machine and RO unit. Officials from AIIMS said that this was



the first time an ICU in the country has the HVAC system with 100% hepa filtered fresh air, ensuring zero chance for contracting infection at the hospital.
