IN a relief to the stressed-out attendants busy taking care of patients, AIIMS has decided to build a range of facilities for them.

The hospital administration will build a multi-faith prayer room, chair-cum bed, lockers, shower area and air-conditioned waiting spaces for all attendants who will be staying with the patients during the course of treatment.

The move came after the institute director Dr M Srinivas took a round of the ICU recently and found attendants sleeping on the floor in the waiting area which also lacked other basic facilities.
