Surat: Following several complaints of valuables being lost or stolen, the state government-run New Civil Hospital (NCH) has set up a special system to keep belongings of the Covid-19 patients safe
Haren Gandhi, chief security officer at NCH, said an eight-member team has been tasked with preparing a list of valuables like mobiles, jewellery and other items in the possession of patients or their relatives during the time of admission. Contact numbers of relatives and other distant kin are also registered. The photographis of the valuables are also taken and entered into the register. Since July, lost valuables that were found were handed over to families of nearly 100 patients.
