Currently, 135 corona patients are being cared for in the Salzburg state hospital, 23 of them in the intensive care unit. There is currently no end in sight to this worrying trend in both normal and intensive care units. “One of the objectives of our strategy for the fall was that the regular operations in the hospitals were maintained as long as possible and that the fewest possible planned operations be postponed,” the health official explained in a broadcast.
Planned operations should be postponed
However, public hospitals have now reached a stage where some planned operations must be postponed. “That is why we are now implementing the contracts prepared with private hospitals,” Stöckl said. This would relieve public hospitals and create capacities for the many corona patients.
Step-by-step plan for private clinics
There is a step-by-step plan for private hospitals. The Wehrle Deaconess Clinic is the first. Appropriate cooperation with other private hospitals will be implemented as necessary. “This allows us to react in a very flexible way to the respective situation. And I am very grateful that this solidarity is so strong in Salzburg,” the health official emphasized.
The private hospitals provided the infrastructure such as operating rooms and nursing staff, the interventions are carried out by doctors from the state clinics. “Who will be operated on and when, doctors decide after talking with the patient and in accordance with the medical urgency. The most important goal is to ensure the best possible care for everyone in the current circumstances.”
