The 10BedICU project was started in Mar 2021 in
the wake of the Covid-19 delta wave spike in
India, in order to create critical care ICU
infrastructure in rural and smaller government
hospitals. To cut a long story short, today we
have created over 200 10BedICUs in government
hospitals in 9 states of the country. This is a
PPP private-public-partnership, where the
10BedICU group finances the capital expenditure
of the project by providing the ICU medical
equipment, CARE software system, the TeleICU
technology infrastructure, clinical and systems
training and community participation
support.
The State government signs an MoU with 10BedICU
and provides the hospital space and site
readiness for ICU installation, the doctors and
nursing medical staff, medical supplies,
utilities (electricity, water, internet etc).
The operating expenditure is borne by the
state.
The project consists of 5 components:
-
Providing and installing state-of-the-art ICU
medical equipment at taluka level govt.
hospitals.
-
Deploying award-winning CARE software for
delivering improved healthcare outcomes.
-
Deployment of the TeleICU system in a
hub-n-spoke model, with TeleICU Hubs in
government medical colleges connecting
specialists to remote 10BedICU hospitals.
-
Basic and advanced critical care training and
standardising ICU protocols.
-
Community participation to maximise the impact
and sustainability of the project.
