PEKANBARU - Pekanbaru Police Chief, Kombes Nandang Mu'min Wijaya, checked the availability of oxygen and beds for COVID-19 patients at Eka Hospital.

"A visit to the Eka Hospital to coordinate and ensure the availability of oxygen and beds for COVID-19 patients being treated here", said Kombes Nandang, quoted by Antara, Friday, July 23.

According to Nandang, according to Riau Governor Syamsuar's instructions, every hospital must provide 40 percent of available beds for COVID-19 patients.

"Alhamdulillah, from a capacity of 200 units, there are 104 beds that have been prepared by Eka Hospital to treat COVID-19 patients as well as the availability of oxygen by checking directly to the storage area", he continued.

He said the capacity of the oxygen storage cylinder was at the level of 80 percent of the existing cylinders with a size of 3,150 liters.

While every day COVID-19 patients need 800 liters, Eka Hospital always provides so that there is no shortage.

Nandang said he had checked directly into the portable warehouse with the readiness of 30 tubes to be used if there were patients who needed oxygen, especially COVID-19 patients when he moved from the emergency isolation room to the ICU.

"We have all checked directly whether the availability of beds and oxygen is sufficient and thank God Eka Hospital is optimal for handling COVID-19 patients in Pekanbaru city", he said.
