Correggio, the renovation of the San Sebastiano announced in Malavasi’s council: “By June 30 the project in the Region will then reopen the emergency room”
–
CORREGGIO. During the city council meeting last Friday, the mayor Ilenia malavasi, illustrated the situation with respect to the reopening of the emergency room of the San Sebastiano di Correggio hospital.
“The management of the Local Health Authority, in collaboration with the Territorial Health Conference – he said – is committed to a plan for the progressive reactivation of services, for which, however, great attention must be paid with regard to the safety of users and workers . In fact, the Decree of 19 May provides that, in the context of hospitals, provision should be made for the separation of the routes planned for Covid 19 suspected patients, with the identification of distinct areas of access and stay. The national guidelines foresee a series of specific criteria for the planning of the restructuring and modernization interventions and, in particular, as regards the first aid, areas dedicated to Covid suspect patients awaiting diagnosis, a specific outpatient clinic, reserved access for emergency vehicles and waiting spaces for patients carried on a stretcher and Covid suspects ».
«By June 30 – he continued – the adaptation project must be presented in the Region which, as regards Correggio, envisages the creation of an additional” hot chamber “structure near the current one. This solution allows to guarantee the reopening of the emergency room without major changes. The same Decree provides funding for all reorganizations, subject to approval of the project by the regional technical team. Since our hospital is a “no Covid hospital”, special attention must be paid to avoid that positive patients can somehow “pierce” the hospital through access to the emergency room. Hence, the need, in fact, for the separation of routes and rapid tests, to increase the safety of users and operators, following which the ascertained cases must be transferred to the equipped hospitals of Reggio and Guastalla ».
“I remember – added Malvasi – that last February, with a painful decision, which proved to be fundamental for the health of our community, the emergency rooms of the hospitals of Correggio and Scandiano had been closed because they did not have adequate logistical and structural characteristics to respond to the then only hypothesized aggravation of the situation related to the spread of Coronavirus. The closure of the emergency room – concluded the mayor – was the only measure of remodeling put in place in our hospital, which otherwise has maintained all its normal organization, as opposed to other structures. There are currently no Coronavirus positive patients in San Sebastiano ».
