[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwanju] Daegu Fatima Hospital announced on the 3rd that it was designated as a home treatment management medical institution on the 27th of last month and will participate in home treatment for COVID-19 confirmed patients.

Daegu Fatima Hospital was designated as a home treatment management medical institution due to the rapid increase in the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases in the Daegu area recently, and it is in charge of the Dong-gu area, which is the 5th zone in Daegu's home treatment operation system.

The home treatment health management service confirms the target for home treatment decision, conducts an initial health status inquiry, and high-risk groups are intensively monitored or transferred to medical institutions. Home treatment patients monitor signs for more than 24 hours and enter the results twice a day into the medical support system. If abnormal signs are detected, non-face-to-face consultation and prescription are conducted using video communication.

Hospital Director Kim Sunmi said, "Daegu Fatima Hospital, as a representative medical institution in the Dong-gu area, is doing its best to prevent and contain the spread of COVID-19," and added, "Through close cooperation with local governments, we will do our best as a home treatment management medical institution to help people return to their daily lives healthily from COVID-19."
