The epidemic situation in Taiwan has continued to increase recently, especially in Shuangbei.
On May 26, NTU Hospital Dean Wu Mingxian sent out a "surge letter" to the society through social platforms, describing the status quo of the hospital being full of patients and wards.
Based on the news from the Central News Agency and the China Assessment Agency, Wu Mingxian published a paper under the title of "Hospitals Need Help" and pointed out that the hospital is now very urgent. National Taiwan University has refitted the children's intensive care unit to treat adults, but it is still not enough, and the ambulance continues. Bring in confirmed patients who need intensive care unit and intubation.
Wu Mingxian called on the Taiwan Epidemic Center to pay attention to these large numbers of severely ill patients, saying that it would be very miserable if it continues like this.
Wu Mingxian pointed out that the National Taiwan University Hospital has treated more than 100 cases of COVID-19, with more than 20 severe cases, the largest in Taiwan. It is already fully loaded. Fighting against the epidemic is like fighting. Since the number of COVID-19 patients is really too large, if there is no preparation for perfection, the consequences can be continued. Think about it.
He called on the Taiwan authorities to make overall considerations and give solutions.
On May 25th, the Taipei City United Hospital Enterprise Union also posted a message on Facebook, saying that “medical collapse is imminent, and grassroots medical care seeks help from the society!” The article revealed that the true situation of the Taipei City United Hospital was that the emergency room was congested and the ward was full, but The ambulance still brought the patients in, and there were even many patients lying in the corridor. The amount of medical care could really be overwhelmed.
