Crown … Araji speaks of a “very dangerous indicator”

The head of the Parliamentary Health Commission, Representative Assem Araji, in an interview with Al-Anbaa, renewed his demand for a complete closure for at least a 15-day period because the health sector is on the verge of collapse, and it is necessary to rest the staff of doctors and nurses whose number of wounded exceeded two thousand wounded, and this is a dangerous indicator. Much for the medical corps. “

Araji noted that “there are no places to treat the injured in the government and private hospitals that receive Corona patients, and that these hospitals cannot accommodate, and the number of empty beds is only 4 to 5 percent, for what closure has become an urgent necessity until patients heal and treat the injured. ” Replace your place. “

Araji was surprised by the justifications issued by the Private Hospitals Union for not receiving Corona patients, calling on them to “take into account the humanitarian aspect rather than the material aspect that they constantly talk about.”

He also called on the Ministry of Health to rehabilitate closed public hospitals because with the start of the winter season, cases of influenza will increase, which can generate strong pressure on hospitals, asking: “Who is responsible for the death of patients in their homes? “

For his part, the head of the department of bacterial diseases at Rafic Hariri University Hospital, Dr. Pierre Abi Hanna, described the tragic health situation saying: “The hospitals are full and no longer have the capacity to receive more patients, and the wards intensive care no longer have a place ”. He called for “a strategic plan that foresees a complete closure for a month because it relieves the pressure on hospitals”, and at the same time asked “to adopt preventive methods in supermarkets and in the purchase of food more adjusted and effective than before and alleviate meetings as much as possible because nothing is more difficult than the death of the wounded. ” Hospital doors “.
