At the end of last month, a private hospital in Saitama Prefecture moved to a hospital specializing in the new coronavirus, which mainly accepts patients with moderate illness.
According to the hospital, it will be the largest private corona hospital in Japan.
Kodaira Hospital in Toda City built a prefabricated new corona ward in March with the support of Saitama Prefecture, and after that, the hospital beds were gradually diverted, and a total of 44 beds were used for the new corona. It was reserved for patients.
However, as the number of patients with the new corona requiring hospitalization is expected to increase in the future, the hospital moved to a specialized hospital for the new corona at the end of last month.
In the future, outpatients and home-visit medical care will accommodate patients other than the new corona, but for a few months, all 68 beds, including the newly established beds, will be dedicated to new corona patients, mainly accepting moderately ill patients. ..
According to the hospital, it will be the largest private corona hospital in Japan.
The hospital also prepared oxygen administration equipment and accepted 22 emergency patients with the new corona in just two days from the day after the transition. There are cases where there are no cases. We would like to accept patients at our hospital and promote the division of community medicine in order to overcome the crisis situation of emergency. "
