随着每日武汉冠状病毒(Covid-19)病例增加,各国出现医疗设施不足问题,我国卫生部强调医疗设施充足,必要时还可将国家传染病中心的330个床位增加到500个。

卫生部长颜金勇今日在国会上,发表部长声明时指出,公共医院早前已经采取必要措施,延迟非紧急看诊和手术,将医疗设施和资源保留给最需要的病患,确保他们能够及时获得妥善照顾。

他指出,目前政府整合私人医院探讨,把非确诊病患转移到私人医院,以让公共医院能拥有足够的设施和设备,专注于应对疫情感染。而若商讨成功,被转移的患者仍然可以支付和公共医院一样的医疗费。

他指出,目前最重要的是医疗人员,他们的负担会随着病患的减少而减轻,因此促请国人遵守措施,保护自己,也减少他们的负担。

“最重要的是我们的医疗人员,他们日以继夜地工作,确保所有病患都获得妥善照料。在此,我感谢他们。”

颜金勇也感谢国人在措施实施这段时间所给予的合作和体谅,迅速适应新措施,接受其所带来的不便,并表示政府上下会和国人一起,努力抗疫,减少感染的几率。
