The care centers in Hemse, Visby and Slite, the hospital's emergency room and parts of the hospital's specialist clinics are open during the summer.
Health care has also been strengthened with an extra ambulance, but no special summer reception is planned to open in Visby, says primary care manager Carina Söderström.
Patients will be transported to home hospitalsDespite increased capacity, visitors cannot be guaranteed an excessive burden, says the head of health.
- Despite the increased capacity of intensive care units, among other things, we cannot fully guarantee visitors that care can cope with an excessive burden. Visitors who need hospital care and belong to other regions will therefore, to a large extent, be transported to their home hospital. A transport that usually takes one or two days to arrange, says Health Manager Cathrine Malmqvist.
