The hospital in Fiera di Milano could reopen its doors. The Lombardy Region in fact sent an official communication yesterday in which it asks the structures that will have to take care of it to start the reactivation operations of the intensive care hub born in Portello in the wake of the first coronavirus pandemic emergency. “We have received the communication in which we are told to prepare ourselves and therefore we have made all the necessary steps to reactivate the structure” of the hospital at the Fair. “The request for now concerns two modules with 16 beds, therefore for 32 patients. At the end of this process, then, the Region will tell us if and when to start welcoming patients. However, for the moment we have not been informed of welcome any patient. Simply activate the facility. There is no precise opening date, because it is a decision that will have to be taken centrally, which will be communicated to us and from that communication 48 hours will elapse to start receiving patients ” . Ezio Belleri, general manager of the Milan Polyclinic, explains to Adnkronos Health what the path that could lead to the reopening of the hospital in Fiera di Milano in the next few days.
“This information is given to you by the Region – says the DG – The decision to reopen depends on the progress of the epidemic and the hospitalizations and it will be the Region to decide this. On the formal level, the communication was sent yesterday, but the The evaluation process started a few days earlier. There have been a series of contacts before, it is not something that arises within a day. We are in constant contact, there are our collaborators within the Regional Crisis Unit for the subject of intensive care, so the contact is direct. Our point of reference is the Directorate General for Welfare. We were asked to prepare ourselves and we naturally acted in these terms “.
“The request now concerns two modules, then we will see the path that must be taken – continues Belleri – It can obviously grow, but we hope not because we hope there are no people to be hospitalized and we hope that the pandemic trend is not such as to bring us back to levels of last year, when “the Portello intensive care hub” reached an overall presence of about 80 patients. We naturally hope not to get anywhere near those levels, indeed we hope not to open at all. But this depends on the trend of the pandemic. Let’s hope for the best “.
