Thanks to the support of the Italian organisations PIN and UPP, Dêrik Health Directorate started preparations to open a department at the Dêrik Public Hospital for the treatment of coronavirus patients 5 months ago.

The department, which was set up after the increasing of coronavirus cases in the region, began to serve the people. With the opening of the department, the hospital was qualified to respond to 40 patients with Covid-19.

On the other hand, the Directorate of Health has taken the necessary measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus and ensured better health services.

The hospital has 24 beds for coronavirus suspects, 8 beds for those in the middle stage of the disease and 6 beds for those who have to use respirators.

The Autonomous Administration together with the Italian organisations supported the opening of the department.
