Abstract
King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital started treating COVID-19 patients in the first week of March 2020. It initially started with a single “isolation ward” and steadily increased to the first and then to the second floors of the heritage building of KEM. A lot of brainstorming, planning, designing the COVID-19 wards, procuring hardware, setting up of back-office teams, creating a “war room,” and putting together “attack teams” were integral components of a herculean task. KEM responded adroitly and started training all health care workers (HCWs) across ranks, that is, medical students, interns, and residents. We never knew how the silent virus was going to attack us. An alien pandemic needed swift action and an emergency policy.
