Refugees are looking for help in Prague hospitals. There are already about a thousand hospitalized
All teaching hospitals were given the task of setting up UA points, first contact clinics, where interpretation will be provided. For example, at the Moto University Hospitall In it since March 21 paramedics treated over 1800 patients, of which about a thousand under 18. An average of 50 patients come there every day.
According to Hana Frydrychová from the Department of Communication, they most often come due to the worsening of their chronic illness or to the addition of medication, as well as acute infections such as pathways or musculoskeletal pain. They also need various confirmationsespecially for children with medical fitness to attend the team.
Almost 500 refugees were hospitalized in Motol, of which 251 were children. The hospital also took care of 30 children with different oncological diagnoses. According to spokeswoman Martina Dostál, about 300 refugees were also treated by doctors at Na Homolce Hospital. Of these, 70 percent were outpatient care, the rest hospitalized.
There were more than 1,250 refugees according to spokesman Petr Sulek, outpatient until Tuesday this week provided at Thomayer University Hospital. Over 200 of them needed to be hospitalized. “Most often, these patients were hospitalized with digestive or neurological problems“said Sulek, some of whom were also oncology patients. 96 children were hospitalized. 29 Ukrainian mothers gave birth in the maternity hospital of the Krč hospital.
Doctors from the Royal Vinohrady University Hospital treat about 10 patients a day at the UA point. According to spokeswoman Eva Libigerová, an average of 10 to 15 adults and the same number of children visit these surgeries daily at the Bulovka University Hospital.
“The vast majority of children have acute problems, often minor, such as mild respiratory, digestive or urinary tract infections,” she said. But there are also children who are being treated for asthma, thyroid disease or other chronic problems in Ukraine. Then hospital doctors arrange placement in the relevant specialist outpatient clinic and prescribe the necessary medications. About 200 people have been hospitalized in Bulovka so far.
At the General University Hospital (VFN) in addition to the four UA points at specialized clinics at the beginning of May, they also opened aboutof a general practitioner at the local polyclinic. In the surgery, refugees can register as a regular general practitioner, for example, they will issue them a certificate for employment.
According to spokeswoman Lucie Krausová, the Na Františku Municipal Hospital has so far cared for 120 refugees, and 11 were hospitalized.
The Central Military Hospital, which falls under the Ministry of Defense, not the Health Service, According to spokeswoman Jitka Zinek, the UA did not establish the point. Nevertheless, the emergency room found more than 90 Ukrainian patients in need of outpatient treatment.
Due to language barriers and administrative constraints, when they cannot work as qualified nurses or doctors, doctors without the necessary examinations hospitals employ Ukrainian refugees relatively little. Most often as an administrative force or as so-called health workers, who help with patient hygiene or changing bed linen, for example. These are mostly new staff units.
For example, the Hospital She has 13 new Ukrainian workers in František. “Among them are nine trained nurses and one doctor who is not yet able to work directly with patients from a recognized relevant education, but we are involved in auxiliary work in the ward. There are also three cleaning workers among them,” the spokeswoman explained.
Thomayer University Hospital, which employs a number of Ukrainians, has provided support to the war-torn nation by raising the Ukrainian flag.
