Amid the surging COVID-19 cases, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has set up a facility in New Delhi with all basic facilities free of charge.

The facility set up by DRDO in Delhi has all oxygen beds, a large number of ventilators, zero charges, basic testing facilities and air-conditioning, as per WHO standards.
If a patient suffers a neuro or cardiac case, the patient will be referred to the All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
