According to the Director General of Laquintinie hospital, the donation is timely as it will partly ensure more space for the reanimation of Coronavirus patient.
“Before this donation, we had one hundred beds for COVID-19 patients, now it has risen to two hundred beds and as such, we will be able to take care of new coming patients.” Prof Louis Richard said.
This comes as some COVID-19 patients allegedly succumbed to the virus in the region because of either lack of space and or lack of anti-COVID-19 equipment.
