It is a cause of great concern that in the midst of the second wave of Covid-19 in Bangladesh, one of the healthcare institutions that has stood out in providing services throughout the pandemic, the Mugda General Hospital, is understaffed and also suffering from a lack of necessary resources. A report published in this daily yesterday showed how it is taking longer than usual for the hospital to deliver CT scans of Covid-19 patients due to a lack of staff in the relevant department. It also detailed how Mugda is operating way over its capacity of 329 beds and 19 ICU beds for Covid-19 patients, with at least 15 doctors and an unknown number of nurses and other staff currently down with the virus themselves.
