Far Eastern Memorial Hospital has the largest number of daily screenings and home care residents in Taiwan

        Far Eastern Memorial Hospital established the first home care center in New Taipei City on April 11. So far, it has taken care of more than 70,000 patients, accounting for about 30% of the confirmed population in New Taipei City, and continues to receive 5,000 patients every day. The epidemic prevention policy also meets the medical needs of the public through remote diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital undertook the two largest centralized inspection hotels in New Taipei City to preserve the hospital's medical capacity and hold the last line of defense.

        In view of the fact that people had to wait 4 to 5 days to get antiviral drugs after being confirmed by PCR in the past, and they missed the time of administration, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital first sent a text message to inquire about the willingness of patients to be cared for at home and meet the drug administration standards, and the physicians took the initiative to contact the confirmed patients. , using telemedicine to prescribe medicines. Today, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital has achieved a physician-determined diagnosis and a simultaneous drug delivery mechanism, which shortens the drug delivery process within one day, reduces the risk of mild cases turning into severe cases, and protects the health of residents.

        Hou Youyi, Mayor of New Taipei City, said: "Special thanks to Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, who fought side by side with New Taipei City during this period."

        In fact, the number of emergency visits today is 9.6 times that of last year. Far Eastern Memorial Hospital has established a triage mechanism through the establishment of community screening stations and emergency quarantine clinics. The emergency quarantine clinic serves 2,290 people a day, and the community screening stations can provide daily services. The 3,000-time screening is not only the highest screening volume in Taiwan, but also reduces the pressure on emergency department capacity and provides the best treatment and services to the public.

        In the future, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital will continue to work with medical institutions at all levels to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the health of the people of New Taipei City.
