transformed to treat COVID-19 patients from June 16 as an effort to have
3,500 beds dedicated to serve the treatment.
Accordingly, the 1,000-bed is ready to
receive and treat positive patients.
Previously, the municipal Department of Health converted the
function of and Cu Chi District
Hospital into hospitals specialising in treating COVID-19 patients. The HCM City
Hospital for Tropical Diseases is providing treatment for 126 patients, while Cu Chi COVID-19
Treatment Hospital has received 192 others after only four days of operation.
On June 13, Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital was officially divided
into two separate zones, with one treating patients with tuberculosis and the
other treating non-tuberculosis lung diseases and receiving patients with severe
clinical conditions.
Since then, the hospital has received 10 cases of COVID-19
with respiratory failures, transferred from Can Gio COVID-19 Treatment
Hospital, thus helping reduce overloading for the HCM City Hospital for
Tropical Diseases in the context that this hospital is temporarily locked-down as
many of its medical staffs tested positive for SARS-CoV-2./.
