During the conference on measures to counter COVID-19, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed to ensure full readiness of all healthcare organizations in the country, Kazpravda.kz reports with reference to the Akorda press service.
Tokayev instructed to ensure full readiness of all health organizations. This also applies to military medicine, which must be ready for a rapid deployment of forces and means to fight infection.
"Recent assessment of medical organizations shows an inadequate degree of their readiness. Violations have been identified in more than half of health facilities. Hospitals have not been fully zoned, resulting in the risk of contamination of patients and the staff. In almost all the regions, the intensive care units are understaffed. There is a shortage of certain drugs and a number of medical devices for the treatment of severe patients with coronavirus infection. The regions purchase drugs at their own discretion, without taking into account the existing treatment protocols," the President said.
