MEXICO CITY, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Mexican health authorities would take a series of measures to deal with a renewed outbreak ofA/H1N1 influenza in the country, Mexican Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova announced Thursday.
According to the new measures, public hospitals would delay non-essential surgeries and reserve 12 percent of their available beds for the new A/H1N1 flu infections, the minister said.
Authorities have estimated that a new outbreak in the country, which arrived earlier than predicted in December, could fill 8,000to 10,000 hospital beds in the coming winter.
The public hospital network in the country could hold 85,000 patients, while the private network had some 10,000 beds.
According to Cordova, sanitary measures were already in place to admit a large number of A/H1N1 patients, and all public institutions were required to reserve about 12 percent of their beds. The measures also included establishing special zones in the hospitals to quarantine patients infected with A/H1N1 flu. Victor Hugo Borja, a Mexican Social Security Institute contingence coordinator, said his institute was ready to assist some 900,000 A/H1N1 flu patients. :tiphat:http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-09/25/content_12109789.htm
