Dr Manish Gupta, head of critical care, said, “Critical or intensive care is the diagnosis or management of life-threatening health conditions that often require a life-support system. Ironically, India has 2.3 critical care beds for one lakh patients, which is significantly lower than that in Western countries.”
Dr Gupreet Singh Gill, a senior consultant (anesthesia), said ICU care is in demand more than ever. In India, five million patients require ICU care, but only 95,000 ICU beds are available.
