“In this phase of the emergency, the regional health system is initiating an action to reconvert the beds to ensure continuity of care for patients who no longer need the typical acute care treatments. This action will also avoid the saturation of the wards. dedicated to non-intensive care allowing a faster turnover of patients “.
This was announced by the deputy governor of Friuli Venezia Giulia with responsibility for Health, Riccardo Riccardi, highlighting that “in this sense, the Giuliano Isontina University Healthcare Company has entered into specific agreements with private structures, while as regards the Friuli Centrale University Healthcare Company , from tomorrow the activities of the first intervention points of the hospitals of Gemona del Friuli and Cividale will be suspended, on a temporary basis and then resumed at the end of the emergency, to increase the availability of an additional 10 beds dedicated to intensive care hospital in Udine and to make 10 RSA beds available in the hospital in Palmanova to accommodate people affected by Covid in the process of improvement. In addition, the RSA currently active in the Gemona hospital will be converted into a post Covid rehabilitation RSA and for assistance to those who have passed the most critical phase with about forty beds this epidemiological emergency in Gemona, following what has been planned, will start the specialized center for cardiological and neurological rehabilitation in collaboration with Gervasutta, with the reactivation of the first intervention point “.
The deputy governor specified that “similar actions are also being implemented by the Friuli Orientale healthcare company, after the conversion of the socially assisted residence in Sacile into a Covid patient ward, which will make it possible to make 40 beds available for positive subjects to the Coronavirus in the hospital in Pordenone “.
Riccardi then remarked that “this new phase of the emergency requires once again a great sense of responsibility on the part of citizens and institutions. I therefore thank the mayors of Gemona and Cividale, who understood the situation, together with whom we explained to the population the measures necessary to safeguard the health security of our region. We regret that this sense of responsibility does not seem to have taken root in Palmanova, where an instrumental battle continues only for the benefit of the consent of the mayor “.
