Covid-19 left 26 people dead this weekend, not counting the patients who die at home. The hospital is saturated, and the reinforcements are insufficient …
The number of active cases in Polynesia per 100,000 inhabitants breaks world records, rising to more than 3,200.
At the entrance to the Taaone hospital emergency room, an incessant ballet of firefighters and ambulances parades, which drop off patients in respiratory distress. There were 26 deaths this weekend, at the Taaone hospital alone. This is without counting the patients who died at home. However, still no announcement of human reinforcements. Hospitalizations in intensive care are not weakening.
Sunday, August 30, Lucile Guichet Tirao was live from the CHPF with at her side, Doctor Dupire, president of the medical commission, who testifies to the human needs of the hospital, but not only:
The hospital is full. We had 18 intensive care beds just over a month ago. We have 63 today. We need about two hundred people to deal with the situation.
The CHPF needs nurses, nursing assistants, anesthetists and resuscitators, and the equivalent of 20 resuscitation stations, in terms of equipment, beds, and oxygen.
The hospital has become too small, (…) the very structure must be reinforced by something from the outside.
