The State Department of Health of Rio de Janeiro made available to the Secretary of State for Science and Technology a field hospital to support the Pedro Ernesto University Hospital after the fire occurred in the unit on Wednesday (4). The unit confirmed that nobody was injured.
According to the hospital, the fire was only one annex building, where he runs the warehouse, and the flames will not have achieved the main pavilion, which are made of medical care.
Patients of Cardiology and Neurology wards had to be evacuated because of smoke and were relocated in other wards. So far, no patient had to be transferred to another health facility.
The service to people who are admitted will be maintained, but the appointments scheduled for today have been canceled and will be rescheduled.
In the courtyard of the hospital, there are several ambulances that were offered by the city and the state government, but did not have to be used to transfer patients.
<b> Hospital Campaign </ b>
The last time the Field Hospital was set up was in January this year in fields after the rains that hit the North Fluminense. In December, the unit was mounted on Copacabana to support municipal services during the New Year.
This same Hospital Campaign has been used in great tragedies like the rain that struck the mountainous region in early 2011 and the collapse of the Morro do Bumba, in Niteroi. Last week, the structure allowed the vaccination of 15,000 people against meningitis in Cabo Frio, in the Lakes Region.
