Engineer Jerome Quadros's site will help patients know number of beds available in every major city hospital
A family member falling ill is a scary time for everyone. And the experience is more harrowing when hospitals come into the picture.
So, to make that difficult time just a little bit easy, Jerome Quadros (58) has started a website that informs about the category-wise availability of beds in reputed hospitals in the city.
The website, https://www.indiahospitalbeds.org/, is free for all and free of formalities like registration.
Quadros, who is due for retirement as deputy GM of a multinational steel company in two months, has kept his venture completely non-commercial and does not accept any sponsors or advertisements on the website.

The website, which will be fully operational in a couple of months, will require hospitals to upload the availability of vacant beds, using individual passwords a process that Quadros claims takes less than five minutes.
However, He admits that his system could have limitations when it comes to monitoring government hospitals, which cater to large number of casualty cases.
Quadros has no formal education in computers, but he is enchanted by the endless possibilities of the Internet.
