Hospital departments

At least 200 to 300 patients are admitted to intensive care units in Istanbul daily as cold weather exacerbates viral infections, leading to a serious shortage of beds, experts warn, calling for enhanced health care resources and vaccination efforts to combat the surge.

A 42-year-old British woman is in a critical but stable condition after falling from the fourth floor of a Cretan hospital.

She is being treated in the intensive care unit of Hania Hospital for brain injuries and fractures.

According to state broadcaster ERT, the woman went to the hospital's emergency department upon her arrival in Crete, stating that she felt unwell.

A fire broke out at a hospital in Istanbul's Üsküdar district late at night on March 24, claiming the life of one patient in the intensive care unit.

The fire suddenly broke out in the surgical block of the Sultan Abdülhamit Han Training and Research Hospital and claimed the life of an intensive care patient in serious condition, a statement by the Istanbul Governor's office said.

The number of patients being treated for COVID-19 in hospitals' intensive care units (ICU) has been declining in Turkey, an expert has said, citing the vaccinations as the main reason for the improvement in the situation.

In line with fewer patients, intensive care occupancy in hospitals has dropped to the lowest level since the start of the pandemic.

The head of COVID resuscitation at the University Hospital "Medica-Ruse" Dr. Milen Shopov showed on the air of "Hello, Bulgaria" what is the situation in his ward. He said that only one resuscitation bed was available and 46 were used by patients. None of them had been vaccinated.

Nine people died on Friday when a fire broke out in an intensive care unit at a Romanian hospital treating COVID-19 patients, officials said, the country's third deadly hospital fire in less than a year, Reuters reported. Firefighters extinguished the fire at the hospital in the eastern city of Constanta at around 0755 GMT, having brought in additional teams from nearby counties.

With the number of coronavirus cases rising over the past weeks, Romanian hospitals are running out of beds in intensive care units (ICUs) for COVID-19 patients.

Mytilineos since 2017 supports the mission of the Non-Profit Organization "Child Trauma Management" and specifically the creation and upgrading of Emergency Departments (ICUs) in Health Centers and Pediatric Hospitals of the country.

These are circumstances in the hospital where nurse Janine Roberts works.
Now it is mostly about young people who have not been vaccinated and who are in a very difficult health condition.
Most of them arrive to the intensive care units already intubated and unconscious, and most often it is an infection with a delta variant of the virus that is spreading rapidly.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, 2,298 patients have been discharged from the ICUs
