The Governor Eduardo Leite (PSDB) announced in a live broadcast on Facebook that from this Tuesday the Regional Hospital of Santa María will be working with 30 clinical beds and 10 intensive care units (ICU). Leite presented the bed design map and walked through the complex showing the new facilities that will exclusively cater to patients with the new coronavirus. The Governor also announced that, next week, another 20 clinical beds will be opened, totaling 60 new spaces to treat the disease in the municipality.
– We are already working to acquire the equipment for permanent operation. There will be almost 200 open beds. The Regional will no longer close after that, Leite guaranteed.
The State has already hired 83 health professionals and 30 other doctors who will work at the hospital.
According to Leite, 60.3% of the beds in the state are occupied with Covid-19 patients and the Regional comes to reinforce health.
The governor was accompanied by the state secretary of health, Arita Bergmann, and the superintendent of the University Cardiology Foundation (FUC), Rogério Pires, and the mayor of Santa María, Jorge Pozzobom, who celebrated the inauguration:
– Santa María, throughout the state, is the city with the greatest deficiency of beds. We had zero at first, then we won 10 at the University Hospital (Husm) and, starting tomorrow, another 10 here. So far we are controlling the disease, but we do not know what awaits us – said the mayor.
