BeIRUT: Hospital in Lebanon Crisis Thursday warned “disaster” which towered as a few only hours running out of fuel to keep the equipment saving life on endless state deductions.
The worst financial and economic crisis of Lebanon once hit the health sector that had been fragile because it faced the latest waves of the Pandemic Coronavirus.
Country electrical suppliers have all but stop supplying power in recent weeks, forcing homes, businesses, and hospitals to rely on a reserve generator almost all the time.
But the private hospital syndicate on Thursday warned they struggled to get enough fuel to look after them.
“The hospital cannot find fuel oil for power plants during a power outage of at least 20 hours a day,” he said in a statement.
“A number of hospital assemblies run out in a few hours, which will put the patient’s life in danger,” he warned, without determining how many facilities were at direct risk.
Syndicates called by officials to “immediately work to solve problems to avoid health disasters.” When foreign reserves dropped, Lebanese countries struggled to buy fuel for its power plants, increase electricity cuts up to 23 hours a day in several parts of the country.
The crisis has caused local currency to lose more than 90 percent of its value and force hundreds of thousands of Lebanon with income reduced drastically to compete with deficiencies.
Earlier this month, the drug importer said they had run out of hundreds of important drugs because the central bank had not released the dollar promised to pay for suppliers abroad.
