While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have [some of]* the information you have requested. Upon review, the Health Facility Development Bureau finds no standard or policy issuance about the percentage of beds to be allocated in a maternity unit for general hospitals. The hospitals have the discretion in the allocated number of beds per specialty unit.
