Dr R Mubarak 's small country hospital in Bagepalli , Karnataka , had no intensive-care unit.

Families had to take the patient, who was perhaps on the brink of death, on a two-hour drive to the general hospital in Bengaluru .

The new unit is the result of a project called 10 Bed ICU , which was conceived by Srikanth Nadhamuni.

The project has eased the pressure on overcrowded big city hospitals, with a 70% reduction in transferrals from hospitals with the new units.

To date, about 65,000 patients have been treated in the units.

The aim is to set one up in every part of the country.
