Faced with the improvement in the health situation in Reunion, health establishments have decided to lift their white plans from this Friday, February 25. A device activated, a little over a month ago.
•
End of the White Plan in the public establishments of the Reunion Territory Hospital Group. This system has been activated since January 19, in order to best respond to the influx of COVID patients, while ensuring the best possible continuity of care for all other pathologies.
At the height of crisis management and the Plan Blanc, the total capacity dedicated to the care of patients with COVID-19 was:
- 113 resuscitation beds at regional level : 99 on the CHU sites, and 14 on the CHOR site, and up to 8 dedicated COVID continuing care beds at the GHER, for an initial total capacity of 68 beds at the regional level, i.e. an increase of 80%
- 204 medical beds dedicated to the care of patients with COVID have been deployed: 146 at the CHU, 25 at the GHER and 33 at the CHOR
Private establishments have also strongly contributed to the organization of this regional response by welcoming patients with COVID:
- nearly 62 beds dedicated to patients with Covid in the Cliniques Ste Clotilde, St Vincent, St Joseph, and Les Tamarins
The white plan thus enabled public health establishments to mobilize the necessary human and material resources. The objective is to guarantee the continuity of care for all patients received in the three establishments during this unprecedented wave in terms of magnitude.
Under the aegis of the ARS, public and private establishments were also able to benefit from national reinforcements via the mobilization of the Sanitary Reserve.
This lifting of the White Plan will make it possible to organize, depending on the evolution of the situation, the progressive disarmament of the capacities dedicated to the care of patients with COVID-19, and the resumption of scheduled activities, and in particular the operating room activity.
The Reunion University Hospital which, through a press release, thanks “the hospital staff who have once again been able to respond with professionalism and efficiency to this COVID wave”.
