Hospitals breathe better in Luxembourg

Like a symbol. In recent days, the cafeteria of the Center hospitalier Emile-Mayrisch (CHEM), in Esch-sur-Alzette, has started serving … meals. Since last October, it had turned into a day hospital in the face of the waves of coronavirus.

Its access remains limited to staff, patients and visitors, returning since June 13. With “strict rules” and the CovidCheck, recalls the CHEM, which had only eight Covid patients on Friday, including two in intensive care. With the exception of one care unit, “all the services have resumed their initial function”.

The Center hospitalier du Nord also speaks of a “return to normality”, like the CHL. Even if the Covid has not disappeared. “We still have a patient in sheave, underlines Dr Jean Reuter. It will be the “new normal”. From time to time we will have Covid patients ”.

“Think strategically”

At the national level, officially, “the crisis unit has not yet formally adapted the phases of the plan to reality in hospitals. It will do so very soon ”, specifies the ministry. Hospitals have, in fact, gone back down to phase 1 of 4.

“The Covid no longer disturbs our activity”, abounds Christian Kirwel, director of care at the Robert-Schuman Hospitals, where the army tents have disappeared from the landscape for two months. “We have found our planned activity almost as in 2019”. However, it is necessary to remain “on standby” in the event of a new flow, he says.

“We take this time to think strategically.” Consider replacing, for example, with perennial doors those added in the emergency to intensive care. Learn lessons to be able to manage another wave, or a future pandemic.
