“Since we have the entire Vilnius region, according to yesterday night’s data, there are currently ten beds in the Santara clinics, but we have the Antakalnis hospital, we have also agreed with the Ukmergė hospital, the Alytus hospital, we are talking with other medical institutions, “LRT said Wednesday. said Aušra Bilotienė-Motiejūnienė, managing director of Santara Clinics.
The Santara clinics are currently treating 117 COVID-19 patients, two of whom are children. 13 people are in resuscitation treatment. About 20 of these patients are hospitalized per day.
According to data from Clinicas Santara, 61 patients with COVID-19 are being treated at the Vilnius City Clinical Hospital, one of them in the Resuscitation-Intensive Care Unit.
“If this progress is as it is now, we will have around 20 hospitalized patients every day, then only one clinic in Santara will not be able to attend. devoured since we have a tertiary institution, a university hospital, to provide other planned services that the population needs, ”said one of the managers of the Santara clinics.
According to Aušra Bilotienė-Motiejūnienė, when the government prepares to introduce quarantine in Lithuania on Wednesday, services at the Santara clinics will not be suspended, but after starting treatment of COVID-19 patients in other hospitals, it is possible they have to reorganize their work.
“Perhaps the situation in the region would change if Ukmergė or another hospital opened its own COVID-19 ward, the provision of the services themselves must be reorganized: not in the same (hospital-ed.). For example, therapeutic services could be provided at other nearby treatment facilities, and the necessary care would remain at the facility where the treatment would be provided. COVID-19 patients, ”he said.
On Friday, COVID-19 patients were admitted to the Vilnius City Clinical Hospital.
This treatment facility has left a total of 130 beds for COVID-19 patients, which will be replenished as needed, but as the number of patients increases, the problem of the doctors treating them will become a challenge.
According to data from Tuesday, 613 people are being treated for COVID-19 in Lithuanian hospitals, 51 of them in resuscitation.
