The army will transport some of the sick from Brno to Prague
Both devices are crucial for fighting the covid-19 in Moravia. The most serious cases end in them. The University Hospital is the largest Moravian medical facility.
“Transporting a total of 17 patients will relieve us at least for a while. It’s not that we can’t make new beds. The problem is that we no longer have other highly specialized hands that would be able to take care of people in the most serious condition, “Veronika Plachá, a spokeswoman for the university hospital, told Práva. She emphasized that although the 15 patients awaiting the trip to Prague were in a state of health, they were people who would need longer hospitalizations.
Plachá emphasized that the overall situation in Moravia is critical in terms of the number of patients and is constantly growing. The loose beds seem to be filling up fast. Hospitals are facing a large influx of newly admitted patients, especially on weekends. For example, the teaching hospital had to accept twenty of the past.
In the south of Moravia, the beds of the Vyškov and Kyjov hospitals, which have declared a state of emergency, are already being filled. Regional health coordinator Vladimír Šrámek decides on the placement of patients in hospitals in critical areas. Patients in a mild condition will be transported to Prague by ambulance. I reckon that the patients from Brno will be transported, for example, to Motol, Bulovka, the military and Vinohrady hospitals.
