geovalin Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered health officials on Tuesday to prepare to treat coronavirus patients at home, as the country’s biggest COVID-19 outbreak so far tests the capacity of its fragile healthcare system. Cambodia had one of the world’s smallest coronavirus caseloads until six weeks ago, but an outbreak in late February has led to its first 22 COVID-19 deaths and a five-fold jump in cases to 2,824. A total of 1,003 patients are currently being treated in hospital that are near capacity, Hun Sen said in an audio message shared widely on Tuesday and reported by local media. read more https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cambodia-health-coronavirus/cambodia-pm-orders-home-treatment-for-covid-19-patients-as-hospitals-strain-idUSKBN2BT123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 An influx of 1003 extra patients being treated for covid brings the country's hospitals to hear capacity. No wonder certain people go overseas for check ups and treatment. One wonders what would happen if there were a large natural, or not so natural disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
