Nayati Healthcare Chairperson also said that the responsibility of dealing with such a pandemic is shared equally by the public healthcare system and the private medical care providers.

"Considering the steep rise in the number of Coronavirus cases in the country and Uttar Pradesh contributing substantially to those numbers we are fully geared for treatment of COVID patients at Nayati Medicity Mathura and Agra," said Niira Radia.

"Three levels of triaging have been prepared and patients in triage are being screened in separate zones being set up. In the first phase, a 70-bed isolation area will be which has ICU beds equipped with ventilator and ECMO," she explained.

At Uttar Pradesh government's behest, Nayati Hospital Agra has been converted into a Level 1 Quarantine Centre. Level 2 and Level 3 coronavirus cases will be handled by Nayati Medicity Mathura, which is a 377-bedded comprehensive super specialty quaternary care hospital. The Medicity has 7 centers of excellence and 14 specialty departments, including a 'state of the art' cancer care center.

Nayati chairperson Niira Radia also revealed that the 1200 medical professionals at Nayati are displaying a strong commitment towards fighting the menace together. "For the same purpose, the Nayati Campus, which is the home to Nayati doctors and paramedics, will serve as a satellite campus providing lodgings and food to the external teams," she said.

Nayati Healthcare has developed and implemented an isolation process for COVID-19 cases, in order to fight the virus effectively. The healthcare provider is also ensuring that the functioning of the hospital emergency services and other essential services are not affected under any circumstances.

The same has been achieved through various measures, including the segregation of lifts and other facilities so that patients arriving for emergency treatments do not face any difficulty.
