The Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic, self-governing regions and representatives of general outpatient doctors are preparing for the possible loss of general and paediatric doctors in offices. It is very likely that dozens of outpatient doctors will get into isolation at the top of the micron wave.
Monday on the page www.korona.gov.sk new functionalities have been added to help patients with a positive Covid-19 disease test. Nowadays, ambulances are already experiencing a lot of pressure from patients and there may be a situation where a doctor cannot ordain because of illness or quarantine.
It is for this reason that, after clicking on the link "My doctor is unavailable" will show a list of all regions, then he will be able to choose a specific region and will be redirected either to the self-governing region or to the site www.e-vuc.sk, where lists of absent doctors are updated as well as names representing doctors.
Patients over 18 years of age should also enter the date of the test performed and the symptoms. If the positive test person is assessed as low risk, it will be shown a practical manual of the 6th principles against Covid-19 disease, which was processed in cooperation with MUDr. Adriana Šimkova, PhD., the main expert of MZ SR for general medicine. If the patient is judged to be at high risk based on the specified age, symptoms or chronic illness, he will be redirected to the sub-page My doctor is unavailable. There, in addition to practical information on treatment or principles of isolation, he will be able to choose the region and see if his doctor or his doctor or whoever represents him.
For children under 18, visitors will be redirected to the site www.pediatridetom.skwhere parents find all the practical information about treatment. The above-mentioned advice or recommendations may also reduce the pressure on ambulances, when it is necessary to visit a doctor or call emergency medical services and others, which are published on the website of MZ SR and are also located on the www.korona.gov.sk. In the same way, instructions on how to apply for a pandemic infirmary (ADR) and pandemic infirmary or social security benefits are published on the website.
