Doctors said about 40 patients, including three patients, are being shifted to the city government-run Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital (LNJP) in central Delhi.
"One ICU patient was shifted by 2:30 PM and others were being shifted in ambulances," a senior doctor said.
The Yamuna in Delhi swelled to a staggering 208.48 metres Thursday morning, inundating nearby streets and public and private infrastructure, and causing immense hardships to people living in close proximity to the river.
The Sushruta Trauma Centre was established in 1998 for providing critical care management as an annexe of the LNJP Hospital under overall administrative and financial control of medical superintendent of the hospital, according to official website of the centre.
Subsequently, the trauma centre was declared an independent institution.
