Corona Private Home-Care system collapsing

The news is reporting that not just are the hospitals overwhelmed with the increase in Corona patients, but the organization in Mea Shearim that provides home care (oxygen hookups and home doctor visits) is also overwhelmed now.

Chasdei Amram, the organization that does this, has now submitted a request to the Ministry of Health to import doctors from abroad to help with the home care. According to Chasdei Amram, they have a shortag eof oxygen machines, though they are buying more every day - the real shortage is in available doctors. the doctors are already swamped up to their necks with providing official care in the hospitals, and then these home patients get added on top of that.

Chasdei Amram says they have been trying to convince patients to go to the hospitals for the necessary care, but many refuse because of rumors they hear about poor care int he hospitals. Chasdei Amram says they try to dispel the rumors, but many still refuse to go..

The project would be funded by an anonymous donor. As of now, the Office/Ministry of Pirate Medicine is opposed and is refusing the request.

Perhaps the most interesting point in all this is that there is an office of pirate medicine.

Refuah Shleima to all.
