The coronavirus tests the resistance of the health system on a daily basis, since only yesterday in Evangelismos and Attikon 40 admissions were made, while the fullness in intensive care units for Covid-19 reaches 67%.
In Attica, the epicenter of the pandemic in the country has been causing strong vibrations in the health system for weeks. At least 70 admissions are made daily and 3 out of 4 patients are treated in Athens hospitals.
Hospitalizations increase in Athens
More than 718 patients are in treatment, 87 of them intubated and another 122 in serious condition.
In Attica, of the 126 intensive care beds, 82 are already occupied, 67%. The greatest weight is lifted by evangelism and salvation.
Fotis Toulgaridis, Evangelismos doctor, emphasizes that employees are at their limits, since the necessary hiring has not been made. Strengthening hospitals is an urgent need.
“The effort that the staff is putting in is moving.”
The increase in hospital admissions also means an increase in intubation. An exponential increase in cases can cause the saturation of hospitals.
