80 employees urgently working at Craiova County Hospital will go on vacation in November. Hospital management says employee requests have been approved, although the unit faces a staff shortage, Mediafax reports.
Approximately 200 people arrive daily at the Emergency Department within Craiova County Hospital.
Ionica Bogdan is a nurse at UPU and says she is exhausted. Since March, he has been working incessantly, in 12-hour shifts, in special protective equipment and in direct contact with patients arriving at the emergency room.
“It is very difficult for us as well. Some patients are serious, some have symptoms, others are asymptomatic. We must be very efficient and insistent about the questions, so that we know very well where to classify these patients so that they do not contact with others, ”says Ionica Bogdan, UPU nurse within SJU Craiova.
In recent weeks, dozens of medical staff have contracted Covid-19 in the ATI and UPU wards.
At the Craiova County Emergency Hospital, in recent weeks, there are dozens of medical personnel who fell ill with Covid-19 in the ATI and UPU wards. In November, 80 emergency workers will go on vacation. Cristina Geormăneanu, the hospital’s medical director, says that all requests have been approved, even if there is a shortage of staff.
“We are in charge of redistributing personnel from other sections that have restricted activity. (…) We have a continuous hiring of 6 nurses for the Emergency Reception Unit,” he explains.
Ion Cotojman, president of the Hippocrates Trade Union Federation, says the problems could be solved if more medical personnel were hired.
“We have a deficit of nurses, almost exactly, so to speak, of more than 130. We have a deficit of more than 300 people in the medical staff. (…) If we had the normal number, then teams would be formed that would have to change much more often, ”he says.
