The facility at CV Raman Nagar will commence operations in two phases with the first phase comprising 40 beds sponsored fully by the Volvo Group and supported by Ikea India. Equipped to cater to Covid19 positive individuals who are either asymptomatic, or exhibiting mild symptoms or seeking isolation services, the care centre is equipped with oxygen concentrators, necessary medical equipment, and amenities such as food and medicines. With furnishings by Ikea, the centre will provide treatment and care by on-site doctors and nursing staff free of charge, as per the standards and protocol defined by the Government of Karnataka. The Volvo Group has contracted with AyurVAID Hospitals and PCMH Restore Health who will provide and administer an appropriately integrated medical approach of allopathic and ayurvedic treatment. The Volvo Group has also tied up with Aster Labs for Diagnostic Tests. Resident doctors, nurses and support staff will be stationed 24×7 at the centre. Also available at the centre is an ambulance service and, in case of escalation, the patient would be shifted by BBMP to their designated Govrenment or private hospital for further treatment.
