100-bed COVID-19 facility in Bihar

As the number of people with COVID-19 continues to rise across India, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is supporting the Bihar State Government by providing crucially needed personal protective equipment for frontline healthcare workers. This includes N-95 masks, eye/face protection, gloves and high quality body protection.

MSF, in collaboration with the Bihar government, has set up a 100-bed temporary hospital for COVID-19 patients at the Patliputra Sports complex in Patna. As the outbreak in Bihar escalates the facility will be able to focus on providing oxygen therapy to moderate-severe cases of COVID 19. This will increase the existing capacity within the state to look after these patients with life saving treatment.

The indoor stadium was remodeled by MSF to become a temporary treatment center with facilities like triage, isolation, personal protection equipment, and infection prevention and control measures. Managed by 180 MSF staff from across the country, this center will offer inpatient care, mental health support, access to all essential drugs and medical supplies to manage moderate cases and critical oxygen supply through face masks to support patients with breathing difficulties.
