Category-wise display of ICU bed availability mandated in hospitals

The West Bengal Health Department has reportedly directed government and private hospitals to classify and display ICU bed availability at prominent locations. Beds must be categorised into three levels, with Level 1 distinguishing ventilator and non-ventilator beds. This classification will consider equipment, monitoring facilities, patient space, staffing ratios and round-the-clock doctor availability.
