Hospital blocks off corridor space to add more emergency beds

A hospital has closed a section of its corridor to create space for extra emergency beds. The move comes as health facilities face high patient demand and capacity pressure in emergency departments. Staff are setting up temporary beds in the newly cleared hallway area to handle the rising number of people arriving for urgent medical care. Hospital management aims to reduce wait times and ensure patients get treatment faster. Local health authorities are monitoring the situation closely as hospitals manage heavy patient numbers.
