The Minister of Health wants the resignation of the head of the Fourth City

The Minister of Health, Prof. Dr. Kostadin Angelov, demanded the resignation of the head of the Sofia Fourth City Hospital after a report from BNT on how a duty passes during COVID-19.

I saw the BNT material “How a duty goes during COVID-19” several times. The Ministry said at the beginning of the pandemic “a test of coronavirus infection cannot be a condition for hospitalization.”

There are heads of hospitals who keep pretending to be misunderstood, there is no written record of how they ask people for tests, which makes any control useless. In this case, we are even talking about a proven COVID-19.

Other managers stubbornly refuse to open beds, keeping “clean hospitals.”

It will not happen!

After the 20 seconds I heard on BNT: I ​​urge Mayor Fandakova to demand the resignation of the director of the Fourth City. Is there or is there no organization and what is it – the LZ manager is responsible, “the Health Minister wrote on Facebook.

It is clear from the BNT report that a man with COVID, with a severe stomach problem for which he cannot take medication, cannot be admitted to the hospital for hours.

The patient is 70 years old with a proven coronavirus. According to his wife, he had a seizure. A few minutes later the team is at the entrance.

However, it turned out to be well known to the doctor. The doctor had been here again the day before. It turns out that the patient is the same. However, he is already breathing heavily and cannot control his temperature. Dr. Lund came over to examine him and found that he was unable to take medication. The reason: a severe stomach problem, because the drugs cannot be absorbed by the body.

The doctor decided to seek an opportunity for hospitalization and after a conversation with the Coordination Center, he was referred to the Fourth City Hospital.

There, however, a surprise awaits them. Shortly before them, another case of a patient with COVID-19 was admitted to the medical institution, so the doctor on duty is in the room. Twenty minutes later, you still don’t know there is a new patient waiting in the curbside ambulance.

The doctor on duty at the hospital finally shows up. Along with it comes the first problem: hospitalization is impossible without a document from the Coordination Center and a positive PCR. The emergency team did not have them, the Coordination Center referred them to the hospital by phone and the positive test was not printed. This has to be explained several times, first to the duty officer and then to your boss. After a long administrative dispute, an even longer professional one follows. Whether or not the patient meets the conditions for hospitalization, the two doctors present their interpretation on the subject. The result: the patient will not be accepted.

However, the doctor on duty claims that they accept the 70-year-old patient on their own.

“For those who refuse to find beds, I am presenting a legal text in the National Assembly, on the basis of which such hospitals will not work with the NHIF.

Ok, “a clean hospital, but no public funding,” Kostadin Angelov said in an irate statement about the incident.
