Is it right for a hospital to admit two patients in one bed?
In this video, Dr. K K Aggarwal, Padma Shri Awardee, Editor-in-chief IJCP Publications, will discuss whether it is right for hospital to admit two patients in one bed. No hospital should have bed occupancy of more than 85% and two patients in one bed are not allowed. Dr. Aggarwal will further talk that this can lead to infections. The resources of the hospital such as doctors, nurses, drugs and other facilities are for the 85% occupancy. If the occupancy is more than all patients will suffer and are deprived of essential facilities.
