The University Clinical Center of Republic of Srpska (UCC RS) in Banja Luka today recorded the largest number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. There are 607 patients and about 80 of them are on ventilators and 400 on oxygen therapy, said General Director of the UCC RS Vlado Đajić in a statement for FENA.

He pointed out that the UCC RS has a total of about 110 ventilators.

-We have about 110 ventilators, 80 patients are on ventilators, we still have about 30 ready for new patients, but we hope that we will not need them- said Đajić.

He pointed out that a lot of patients who were on ventilators are recovering.

-As far as mortality is concerned, we look at statistics in the world and we are at the top of those who recover and survive. A lot of patients recover who were on ventilators- he said.

Đajić emphasized that they distributed an oxygen network in half of the central medical block in the UCC RS.

-We have oxygen and we can provide it for 500 patients. We consume large amounts of oxygen- said Đajić.

He added that there is still room in this medical institution.

-Unfortunately, we were forced to make triple rooms out of double rooms, so we reduced the comfort a little bit, but the patient still has good accommodation and good service- said Đajić.
