In recent weeks, the number of covid patients has steadily decreased at Södertälje Hospital, but now the curve seems to be flattening out. - We see a reduction in the hospital, but it is not as steep as I have been able to report before. The number of IVA patients has been constant for several weeks, says chief physician Lena Sunnermalm during the weekly press conference for Södertälje Hospital.
Christophe Pedroletti, CEO of Södertälje Hospital, believes that this plan means that the planned health care will continue to be postponed, as staff who work with other care have been relocated as to covid-IVA
- It is a concern for us and for the patients if waiting to be operated on, he says.
