SMS hospital is under pressure due to a large number of patients and rare diseased patients from across the state as it is one of the few government super speciality hospitals.
Presently, there are over 168 beds in ICUs and 51 in semi ICUs of the hospital. But, the shortage of nursing staff is a concern in ICUs.
