Use of Melaka hospital ICU beds at warning level 24 May 2021 / 18:20 H. Pix for illustration purposes.
MELAKA: The use of Covid-19 intensive care unit (ICU) beds at Melaka Hospital is nearing the warning level after 51 out of the 72 beds allocated have been occupied as of yesterday.
State Health and Anti-Drug Committee chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman said the situation forced additional ICU beds to be placed in regular wards as there are 145 patients, including non-Covid-19 patients, being treated at the ICU compared to its current capacity of 114.
“This is not a simple matter as it requires special beds, equipment and many things require the proper setting. It is not comparable to a real ICU,” he told a media conference here today.
