According to the Ministry of Human Resources, the president of the Hungarian Medical Chamber “joined the chorus of disturbances and falsehoods of the opposition.” In its response, the ministry said the first sentence of the chamber’s open letter to Minister Miklós Kásler was “a big mistake.”
According to EMMI, the epidemic management strategy has not changed compared to the well-tested recipe of spring. Even now, healthcare centers are being opened in stages and patients and professionals are mainly concentrated in institutions with extensive experience and expertise. In keeping with the dynamics of the epidemic, doctors and nurses are being reassigned from hospitals that are not currently involved in infection control.
According to the ministry, anyone who speaks of a lack of capacity is “intentionally biased or unaware of the facts.” Currently, the bed occupancy rate in Hungarian hospitals is 53%, so 47% of the beds are not sick, so a significant part of the hospital capacity is free. As they say, “there is a bed, there is equipment and there is a professional.” There is no need to stop any elective care, as proposed by the MOK president, they added.
The risk of spreading the infection and the formation of hospital foci is minimized with the strategy used in the spring and now concentrating the treatment of COVID patients in a few hospitals, the ministry said in a statement.
The opposition has been buzzing in the press for days with the falsehood that diverting some professionals to the few institutions where patients with moderate and severe coronavirus are treated pushes the hospitals from which they are driven to the limit of functionality.
Unlike
the proportion of referred physicians and specialists can only be measured in parts per thousand
compared to all healthcare workers. Four thousandths of doctors and only two thousandths of professionals received instructions to cure the most serious coronavirus patients. While 47 percent of hospital beds are not sick, they emphasized. And Hungarian healthcare is capable of performing the tasks associated with the growing number of patients and curing all patients, according to a statement sent to the MTI by the Ministry of Human Resources.
