In order to ensure the timely treatment to the patients at a recent set-up covid-19 center at Pahadi Shareef area, the Jalpally municipality officials have arranged an additional medical team in the facility and even up keeping all the necessary arrangements at the center.
The center was set up only last month with a doctor and a nurse deployed by the government to supervise the 40 bedded makeshift facility in order to provide treatment facilities to patients infected with covid-19 infection. However, the Jalpally Municipality authorities sponsored an additional medical team at the center that includes a doctor, two paramedics, and an attendant to augment the service by their own expenses.
