Sao Joao Hospital, the largest and busiest hospital in Porto, Portugal, is at the forefront of the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. Typically accommodating around 150 patients daily, the hospital has seen its capacity more than double, now treating up to 350 patients each day.
In response to this surge, Dr. Nelson Pereira and Dr. Cristina Marujo, along with their dedicated team, have developed innovative methods to manage the increased patient load effectively. They have implemented a color-coded system to swiftly assess the severity of each case, ensuring that patients receive the appropriate level of care promptly. Additionally, all necessary medical equipment has been centralized in a single area, minimizing movement within the hospital and enhancing efficiency in treatment.
The courage and dedication of Dr. Pereira, Dr. Marujo, and their team have been instrumental in navigating these challenging times. Their proactive approach and unwavering commitment give hope that victory over the pandemic is within reach.
