JAKARTA - Director of the Regional General Hospital (RSUD) Abdoel Wahab Sjahranie (AWS) Samarinda, Dr. David Hariadi Masjhoer, admitted that the inpatient room conditions for COVID-19 patients in his hospital are full.

"Indeed, the COVID-19 treatment room at our hospital has been full for several days," said Dr. David Hariadi Masjhoer in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, as reported by Antara, Thursday, February 11.

David said, his party had prepared a total of 65 beds. However, it is divided, for treatment of COVID-19, care for pregnant women with COVID-19, care for newborn patients with COVID-19, dialysis patients with COVID-19 and ICU COVID-19.

David admitted that the COVID-19 patient itself is not only COVID-19, but many comorbid patients also suffer from COVID-19.

Therefore, said David, of the 60 beds (bed cccupancy rate / BOR) or filled beds (occupancy rate) around 80 percent. And this amount, he said, if according to the provisions or in theory it is already overcapacity.

"Because according to the standard, if 60 - 70 percent of the BOR is filled, it is ideal. If 80 percent, there is almost an over (excess)," he said.

Therefore, continued David, AWS continues to work around so that new COVID-19 patients can be accommodated.

He said a number of patients, although their condition still needed monitoring, when the results of the swab were negative, they were immediately transferred to the green zone.

The goal is this red zone so that there is always a buffer for empty beds for new and arriving patients who need treatment

"Just this morning, I received a report that there were 8 patients waiting at the ER to enter the treatment room," he explained.

He added that even though the number of COVID-19 patients continued to increase due to this pandemic condition, AWS continued to strive to provide maximum service
