The Minister of Health, Izabela Leszczyna, took part in the morning crisis team in Wrocław. She presented the current situation regarding access to medical care for patients from flood areas. The Minister of Exterior Design, Cezary Tomczyk, prepared an update on the functioning of the temporary hospital in Nysa. Two crisis management representatives were appointed in Głuchołazy and Lewin Brzeski. Full access to medical services
Patients from flood-affected areas can seek medical advice from any primary care physician. Additionally, each sanitary-epidemiological station provides free disinfectants.
We have introduced a regulation by the president of the National Health Fund that family doctors do not only accept their own patients, they accept everyone and we will reimburse such visits
– She informed the Minister of Health during the crisis team in Wrocław. The Ministry of Health has launched a 24/7 NFZ hotline, where you can get information about points of medical service implementation.
Consultants provide ongoing information on where you can receive primary health care services, where you can receive hospital services, where pharmacies are open, and where you can get your prescription filled.
– Izabela Leszczyna said. We also provide psychological care, thanks to two dedicated helplines. Children and young people can get support at 116 111. The number 116 123 is reserved for adults.
There will be a mobile point with psychological help. For now, we have feedback that people need to clean up the area first and that the eventual reconstruction of their homes is important to them. I think that when the adrenaline subsides, this psychological help will probably be more necessary
– the head of the Ministry of Health noted. The Minister of Health presented the information of the Chief Sanitary Inspector in the context of the epidemiological threat. She also reminded that flooded food is not fit for use.
We have 89 waterworks flooded – in Lower Silesia 55, but in 36 the water is drinkable after boiling, so in 19 it is not. We deliver water there in tankers and in screw-top bottles. In Opole 31 waterworks are flooded, of which in 19 the water is drinkable after boiling and in Silesia 3, of which in 1 the water is drinkable after boiling
– said Izabela Leszczyna. Patients who require dialysis therapy are provided with medical transport. On the other hand, people from flooded health resorts are informed about the postponed stay.
Military Health Support
In Nysa, the district hospital was flooded up to the first floor. An estimated 101 patients were evacuated. The military set up a temporary hospital, which will also provide pediatric care from today.
I talked to General Sokołowski to get 100 soldiers to the hospital in Nysa within the next 6 hours to restore the hospital’s operational capacity as soon as possible.
– emphasized Minister of National Defense Cezary Tomczyk. In the smallest towns that suffered from flooding, 10 mobile medical clinics will be created. The army has also launched a clinic that accepts patients 24 hours a day.
Efficient crisis management
Two representatives of the Ministry of Interior and Administration have been appointed to coordinate the rescue operation. In Głuchołazy, senior brigadier Arkadiusz Kuśmierski, and in Lewin Brzeski, brigadier Dariusz Kulawinek.
We believe that there is a need to strengthen the position and to coordinate even better, as General Kamieniecki does in Lądek Zdrój and Stronie Śląskie. We are ready to provide any support.
– Tomasz Siemoniak handed over the Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration.
These proxies are there to help. Crisis management in extreme situations, such as the situation at the moment in Lewin Brzeski and still in Głuchołazy, requires such support
– Prime Minister conveyed. The point is to ensure proper crisis management and efficient removal of flood effects. The Minister announced another amendment to the regulation on the state of natural disaster.
Support for farmers
The head of government announced that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is working on solutions that will help farmers affected by the flood.
I want to reassure concerned farmers who have also suffered very serious losses – this is particularly true for small farms, so we are also preparing assistance there.
– said Donald Tusk in Wrocław. El prime minister appealed to the services and local government officials for full further concentration and mobilization.
