To help combat the oxygen crisis amid the second wave of Covid-19, Conglomerate JSW Group has opened a 1,000-bed hospital to care for Covid-19 patients at Toranagallu, Ballari in Karnataka.
The company constructed the hospital in alliance with the District Administration of Ballari, which will manage and run the facility.
Built-in 15 days, the Covid Care District Field Hospital is connected to a 4.8 km oxygen pipeline from the company’s steel factory. This connection supplies medical oxygen directly to the hospital.
