The authorities in Kyrgyzstan have decided to open day and night hospitals in the Central Asian republic to treat patients as the coronavirus pandemic worsens.
According to local authorities, this will help reduce the number of patients involved in self-medication, Sputnik Kyrgyzstan reported on July 13.
Day hospitals are open from 8:00 to 20:00. Now more than 10-day hospitals work in Bishkek. Citizens can get injections, droppers and medical advice there. These hospitals are not intended to treat seriously ill patients. Similar hospitals began to open in the regions.
In addition, the Bishkek City Hall is currently working on opening night hospitals in every district of the capital of Kyrgyzstan.
Earlier, Kyrgyz doctors said that because of the panic associated with coronavirus, many people began to buy serious drugs in pharmacies and take treatment at home due to the workload of the country’s medical facilities. Such self-medication has already led to severe pneumonia.
According to the latest data, 11,117 cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Kyrgyzstan; 147 people became victims of the virus; another 452 people died from pneumonia.
