The Câmara de Famalicão will build a building to support the emergency service of the local hospital in an investment of 150 thousand euros, the municipality announced today.
In a statement, the Chamber of Famalicão said that the building will be finished early next week and will start operating very soon.
The infrastructure aims to support the hospital in combating the covid 19 pandemic, centralizing the treatment and assessment of respiratory patients, ensuring complete physical separation from the rest of the medical-surgical emergency service, thus increasing the safety of patients and professionals.
“This is an economic effort, made by the City Council in favor of the health of Famalicenses, and that arises in the field of institutional collaboration that we maintain with the Hospital,” says the mayor, Paulo Cunha, quoted in a statement, highlighting that “the health and safety of the Famaliceans are our priority.”
“The construction of the equipment arises as a response to the diagnosis of needs generated within the municipal civil protection that brings together the network of health, relief and security institutions of the municipality, very specifically, to the needs listed by the Famalicão hospital”, he added .
This team aims to create the conditions for the hospital to develop medical responses to COVID-19 patients, without compromising essential care for all other patients. “The division of urgency in these two areas allows greater safety and efficacy in the treatment of all patients,” the statement said.
The building, with an approximate area of 400 square meters, will guarantee the treatment of adult and pediatric respiratory patients in different spaces, with a capacity for about 35 people, consisting of an emergency room, an imaging room and a nursing room.
The pediatric area consists of two medical offices, a health center, ten places for pedestrians, three patients on stretchers and a treatment room. In turn, the adult area will consist of two medical offices, a toilet, twelve places for pedestrians and eight for stretchers.
The area reserved for professionals guarantees independent access from the outside, two changing rooms with sanitary facilities, a dedicated space for changing personal protective equipment and a pantry.
The entire space is served by two dirty rooms, which guarantees support for hygiene and waste evacuation teams.
