China Taiwan Network reported on May 16th According to Taiwan's "China Television News Network", the epidemic on the island has heated up, and the volume of major hospitals has exploded. The Taiwan Epidemic Command Center announced today (16th) that medical institutions across Taiwan will implement four major medical response measures, including outpatient operation reduction, strengthening community monitoring and reporting, strengthening employee health monitoring and international medical suspension. Zhang Shangchun, convener of the center's expert consulting group, said that non-urgent surgeries and examinations are expected to be suspended.
Taiwan hospital "strongly recommends" the public today, calling for postponement of medical treatment within the past two weeks, because we must prepare for the war in the past two weeks, make every effort to clear the ward and provide it to critically ill patients.
Epidemic Command Center announced today that in response to the COVID-19 epidemic on the island, in order to ensure that medical hospitals respond to the epidemic and preserve medical capacity, medical institutions across Taiwan will implement the following medical responses from now on:
1. Outpatient operation reduction: Based on the urgent needs of patients for treatment, the patient will be evaluated and the risk of delaying the patient's diagnosis and treatment and the risk of disease transmission will be decided to provide or delay the diagnosis and treatment; medical treatment that can delay diagnosis and treatment will be suspended (such as: health examinations, beauty, scheduled surgery or examination, physical and functional rehabilitation, etc.).
2. Strengthen community monitoring and reporting and inspection: All patients will be screened before admission, and stay at home before admission to the hospital after admission to avoid going out. Those who urgently need to be hospitalized will be tested before they are admitted to the ward. If the patient's test result is negative, it can only be used as a judgment of the current disease state, but it cannot rule out that the patient is infected but is still in the incubation period in the early stage. Therefore, health status should be monitored continuously; if fever, respiratory symptoms, loss of taste and smell, unknown diarrhea and other symptoms related to new coronary pneumonia occur during the hospitalization, or if the doctor suspects it.
3. Strengthen employee health monitoring: implement daily body temperature measurement and health status monitoring of staff (including body temperature and related symptoms), and log in according to the truth. If there are any suspected symptoms, you should immediately report the examination; conduct nasopharyngeal or deep throat saliva examinations for medical care related staff of high-risk units regularly (5-7 days).
4. International medical suspension (except for special or emergency procurement licenses).
