A RUNDOWN military hospital comes back to life in Seville in anticipation of a imaginable coVID-19 resurgence this winter.
The Vigil Army Hospital in Quiones will be operational in a few months, about 15 years after its closure and abandonment.
The site, which will be the Virgen del Rocío hospital, is lately riddled with vandalism, years of dirt and deterioration.
But the board has promised to put it into service until the end of January from a 117 million euro plan to ease the coronavirus tension in hospitals in the region.
The seville hospital will be distributed over six floors and offer 150 beds and 27 other extensive care beds.
“If we have an uptick in the coronavirus in winter, Andalusia will have the infrastructure to deal with it,” junta president Juanma Moreno said on a scale at the site this week.
He added: “We are involved and targeted in the fight opposing COVID-19 …We have a lot of room for manoeuvre in terms of hospital beds and extensive care beds if the pandemic becomes more intense.”
A total of 672 innovations in fitness care are underway or planned in Andalusia for the winter season.
“Everyone is here to fulfill their wishes and face the demanding situations of this terrible pandemic,” Moreno said.
Of the 117 million euros earmarked for hospital innovations, Seville will obtain 30.7 million euros, which, together with the military hospital, will also pay for the improvement of the operating rooms and emergencies of the children’s hospital, the extension of the urgencies of the Virgen del Rocío Hospital and innovations to the gymnasiums of Macarena and Valme.
In the rest of Andalusia the intensive care unit of the Regional Hospital of Malaga will be expanded, as well as the microbiology and hematology laboratory of the University Hospital of Jaén.
The current terrain of the Hospital Infanta Elena de Huelva will be conditioned to face the COVID-19, as well as the Hospital Poniente de Almería and the ICU and operating room of the Valle de los Pedroches hospital in Córdoba.
