Hemant launches 'Covid circuits' to pool in medical resources of a region Hotpost Ranchi linked to six districts, while Jamshedpur connected to two to ensure quick hospitalisation| Ranchi | Published 24.04.21, 06:13 PMJharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren launched two dedicated "Covid circuits" aimed at pooling available medical resources and infrastructure from a cluster of neighbouring districts to ensure timely admission and treatment of critical patients free of cost. Considering the surge of cases in Ranchi and Jamshedpur, hospitals are full, leading to a crisis of beds and other resources. Hence, we have identified places near these hotspots where patients can be rushed to in the least possible time,” Hemant said. “In the Kolhan region comprising East Singbhum, West Singhbhum and Seraikela-Kharsawan, out of 1,500 oxygen-supported beds, only 500 beds are empty currently. “Those in Ranchi can call 0561-2411144, while those in Jamshedpur can call 0657-2440111 to know about resources in a circuit.
