“We didn’t want to experience that anymore.” Moravian hospitals limit care

For example, staff are missing in the hospital in Znojmo. In October, the infectious beds were strengthened by people from the rehabilitation department.

“We have 26 patients with coronavirus infection in our care, of which two are in severe condition,” said Martin Pavlík, director of the Znojmo Hospital.

At the moment, when the hospital still provides all the care, it is not possible to transfer other staff to covid patients. “For this reason, we had to limit the planned services to orthopedics,” added Pavlík. From Wednesday, the planned income for orthopedics will be suspended and the staff will gradually move to a covid unit.

Here is the situation again that we no longer wanted to experience

Petr Uhlig, director of the Ostrava Municipal Hospital

The Ostrava Municipal Hospital (MNO), which currently cares for 75 covid patients, will also reduce care. “From Friday, we will not be able to limit the planned performances due to the lack of staff. Here again, there is a situation that we no longer wanted to experience, “sighed the director of MNO Petr Uhlig.

“It is a problem for us to provide enough non-medical staff for newly created or transformed covid workplaces, because considerable numbers of employees take long-delayed regular leave, and absence due to other incapacity for work, quarantine or a nursing child is also frequent. Once again, we are also struggling with the positivity of health professionals, “said Marcela Murasová, Deputy Minister for Nursing Care at NGOs.

The director of MNO Uhlig added that due to the growing number of covid patients, MNO had to increase the bed capacity of covid units. There are currently four and have 52 beds. Recently, the covid unit has become neurosurgery, where there are 10 places.

“From the weekend, Orthopedics A will also be ready to serve as a covid station.

According to the Law, the regional hospital in Frýdek-Místek and the AGEL Ostrava-Vítkovice Hospital are also considering limiting care from next week.

They reorder in Olomouc

St. Anne’s University Hospital in Brno (FNUSA) partially limits non-acute inpatient care due to the number of growths of patients with coronavirus. However, the hospital will not limit the planned operations yet.

According to spokeswoman Dana Lipovská, 42 patients with covid were hospitalized at the clinics on Tuesday, three of whom are in a serious condition at the anesthesiology and resuscitation clinic.

“Currently, we have isolated covid departments at both internal clinics, at the dermatovenerological clinic and now also at the neurological one,” said Lipovská. From Monday, November 8, the first internal clinic – the Cardiology University Hospital in Olomouc – cancels the planned outpatient check-ups of its patients.

“Patients will be re-ordered by phone, all chronic medications will be dealt with in the form of an e-prescription,” the hospital said on its website. Other
clinics will not limit their operations yet.
