The hospital's admission department receives an average of 450-500 patients daily. Those in need of hospitalization are admitted to the hospital departments.
As is known, the spread of seasonal diseases is observed throughout our country during the autumn-winter period. Therefore, the number of applications to the institution has significantly increased.
In light of the current situation, an additional 55 beds have been organized in the hospital departments, and the profile of the 40-bed eye microsurgery department has been changed to accept acute respiratory diseases until the epidemic season stabilizes.
Furthermore, work is being done in collaboration with family clinics regarding patients who have applied for outpatient treatment and have been discharged from the hospital for phase 2 treatment. In turn, considering the increase in the number of patients, measures are being taken to have doctors work more with these disease inquiries.
