COVID care for very vulnerable patient

Posted By AS25

"COVID care for very vulnerable patient"

About: Armagh & Dungannon Craigavon Area Hospital Southern Health & Social Care Trust

(as a relative),

My mum, who is clinically very vulnerable, tested positive  with COVID. I registered her positive result with the HSC on the same day. The following day, my mum could feel the covid moving into her chest. She phoned her GP who informed her they couldn't do anything until she was after day 10. An hour later, Mum received a phone call from CAH to say that she had been flagged on the system and that she needed the COVID anti viral meds. I went to the hospital that evening and collected them! Absolutely amazing service! Without these meds I have no doubt my mum would have ended up in the hospital on a ventilator or worse. Couldn't praise CAH more! Well done.

Dear AS25

I hope your Mother is making a full recovery from COVID.

Thank you for taking time out to share such kind words about this service, they are much appreciated. I will ensure they are passed on to the team.
