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.[2]
Presently, there are over 168 beds in intensive care units and 51 in semi-intensive care units of the hospital.[citation needed] But the shortage of nursing staff is a concern in intensive care units.[according to whom?] The ratio of nursing staff in intensive care units is one nurse per 6-7 beds at the hospital.[citation needed] However, it has been recommended[by whom?] that there should be one nurse for two patients in intensive care units.
