COVID-19 Healthcare center
RDT Bathalapalli Hospital has been reappointed as an exclusive COVID-19 Healthcare center to support the Anantapur district administration to handle the resurgence of #COVID19 cases. With 245 beds, including 213 with oxygen supply, the main hospital of Rural Development Trust has once again come forward to support the local authorities.
“RDT will work tirelessly to ensure that no one is left behind in this pandemic. RDT Bathalapalli Hospital team is ready, prepared and committed to help those in need,” stated Moncho Ferrer, VFF USA President of the Board.
During the last few months, RDT Bathalapalli Hospital has undergone renovation in order to accommodate more beds and have more oxygen supply points as compared to the first wave, and has conducted several training sessions for the staff.
“We decided to convert the entire general hospital into a COVID-19 Center due to the increase in the number of cases. This time the virus is spreading faster with increasing severity, especially among those between 30 and 50 years old. The need is urgent,” expressed Dr. Praveen Kumar, Director of RDT Bathalapalli Hospital. “We have been preparing ourselves for this. We are here to help, to act and to fight this virus,” he added.
