Bhardwaj also took stock of the hospital’s preparedness to face patients diagnosed with dengue and other water-borne diseases. “We have come to Lok Nayak hospital on a surprise inspection to see the preparations for dealing with the patients suffering from dengue,” he said.
Bhardwaj, who spoke to a patient diagnosed with monkeypox, said: “We have gathered information about a patient who has been confirmed to be suffering from monkeypox.
