“We have developed COVID beds in the corridors,” the ICU director of the Larissa General Hospital told SKAI Apostolos Komnos. “The contract with private clinics is not new, there is already a contract with a specific one, only now the number of beds given is increasing due to the fact that we have blocked. “These beds only concern COVID cases,” he explained.
“Our vigil is still running until 8 in the morning, they have made 27 imports of COVID incidents and more than 30 other incidents. We already have two intubated ones “.
“With the increase in cases, we have already proceeded to rearrange the cases in the clinics, the number of clinics that treat non-COVID cases has decreased, those with COVID have increased,” said Mr. Komnos.
“Every vigil is a war”
“And in Hippocrates, every vigil is a war as it is done all over Greece,” said the president of the hospital Workers’ Union. Christos Tzelepis,
As he explained, “in the previous vigil, 160 patients came for examination and 80 were admitted, so we go to 40% with 50% being admitted for treatment.
“Hospitals and employees will manage the situation, but we have reached our limits, the picture is getting worse every day,” said Mr. Tzelepis.
He added, he added, another clinic in the previous shift to cover the incidents. “The staff is not enough, I say categorically it was not strengthened, reinforcements are made by other departments, which means that the other departments are weakened,” he said.
