Kitakyushu City Emergency Hospital Requests for patient acceptance at all hospitals New Corona June 4 16:46
Kitakyushu City has a hospital that restricts the acceptance of emergency patients because it is concerned that medical staff will be infected with the new coronavirus. All hospitals were requested in writing to accept patients.
Kitakyushu General Hospital in Ogura Kita Ward, Moji Medical Center in Moji Ward, and Industrial Medical University Hospital in Hachiman Nishi Ward, which have been confirmed to have outbreaks by the 3rd in Kitakyushu City, are responsible for emergency care. We have stopped accepting.
According to the city, there was a case where a medical staff member who had been treated for an emergency patient who had been transported with a condition unrelated to pneumonia had been infected. There are places that limit patient acceptance.
For this reason, the city has written that all 22 hospitals in the city that have an emergency outpatient jointly with the medical association should accept patients after thoroughly implementing infection prevention measures, as the emergency medical system in the area may be under pressure. I requested.
The city also requires medical institutions outside the city to accept patients from Kitakyushu.
The Kitakyushu City Department of Regional Medicine said, "There is a voice from the emergency hospital in the city that the acceptance system is already under pressure. To avoid this situation, the city wants to respond as much as possible." I will.
