GCS Hospital’s COVID Wards has treated more than 2000 suspected and positive COVID-19 Patients successfully, which is a fabulous achievement for a private trust Hospital. Since the start of the pandemic, GCS Hospital has been designated as a COVID-19 facility. GCS Hospital has allotted separate entry, separate staff, and wards for treating COVID Patients. It is also being taken care of that all patients get new clothes, bed-sheets, timely medications and treatment, books for reading, etc. to make them comfortable. Patients’ diet is being highly taken care of by the Diet and Nutrition Department of Hospital. Patients get healthy meals, breakfasts, snacks, hot water, milk etc. throughout the day to help them recover faster. As per the guidelines and packages laid by AMC, GCS Hospital is giving treatment to COVID Patients completely free. Airy and Huge infrastructure of the hospital, supportive staff, and facilities help patients feel positive. The patient’s relatives stay anxious due to COVID. To resolve that Hospital has started a helpline which calls patients relatives and explains to them the health condition of the patients and solves their queries if any.

As patients’ numbers are increasing day-by-day due to COVID Pandemic, we have started a unique helpline for patients’ relatives in which our staff calls the relative and discusses the patient conditions and treatment and also answers the queries raised by the relatives. We have also started a dedicated COVID help-desk at Hospital to caters to all COVID-related queries by hospital visitors.

Testimonials of a few patients treated at GCS Hospital
Mr. Krunal Patel – My father Mr. Vinodbhai Patel was having symptoms like cough, high fever, weakness. On 10th June, his COVID Report was tested positive and he was admitted to COVID Ward at GCS Hospital. We are highly impressed with the facilities and services provided by GCS Hospital. Cleanliness and Hygiene were highly taken care of. We even saw the cleaning was being done at late night too. Regular doctor visits, medications, expensive injections, reports such as CT Scan, etc. were done without charging us a single rupee. During night time too, Nurses and Doctors were treating the patients with the same dedication. Hospital has a special helpline for COVID patients which called us to inform about my father’s health condition and recovery regularly, which is a very unique and appreciable initiative. Home-like food, breakfast, soups, lemon water, etc, have been throughout the stay. My father was discharged on a ninth day after getting fully recovered. Our experience with Hospital staff, treatment by Doctors, hygiene, etc. was really good.
