<Anchor> As



of yesterday (10th), 52 beds were left nationwide to treat critically ill patients with Corona 19.

Therefore, the quarantine authorities decided to establish a base hospital so that critically ill patients can be classified and treated quickly.



Medical reporter Jo Dong-chan covered the scene.



<Reporter> As the



spread of Corona 19 grows uncontrollably, the authorities' Corona 19 Critical Patient Bed Expansion Team, which was urgently created last week, is inspecting a general hospital in Pyeongtaek.



[Lim Seung-gwan/Director of Anseong Medical Center, Gyeonggi-do: There are intensive care areas and dialysis (patient) areas on the 3rd floor.] We



thoroughly inspect ventilation facilities in general hospital rooms as well as intensive care units.

To reduce the waiting period for critical care treatment, patients must be classified according to their condition. The authorities are planning to establish a base hospital.



[Chang-Jun Lee/Director of Central Accident Recovery Headquarters Critical Patients Bed Expansion Team: Efforts to create a system such as a life treatment center or such a bed as a semi-critical patient, or a bed for a critically ill patient, are necessary.]



Health Insurance Corporation Ilsan Hospital, Pyeongtaek Philae Hospital, two are being considered first.



National university hospitals nationwide, including Seoul National University Hospital, decided to supply 37 additional critically ill beds right away.



However, as medical personnel are limited, areas such as emergency and trauma patients, which are less urgent, had to be reduced.



[Kim Yeon-su/Director of Seoul National University Hospital: We are trying to reduce the role of local emergency centers a little bit, and instead expand the respiratory facilities such as ventilators so that we can increase the number



of critically ill patients

.] In

the long term, experts say critically ill beds. It is necessary to increase itself, but it is diagnosed that it is more urgent to increase the efficiency of the critical care personnel immediately.
