A Durban community organisation set up a 20-bed treatment area on the grounds of an overwhelmed private hospital in eight hours after the facility appealed for help.<\/p>\n
Muslims for Humanity reacted to a distress call from the Ahmed Al-Kadi Hospital which needed to urgently set up a Covid-19 reception and receiving facility after critically ill patients were forced to wait in their cars as the demand for beds increased.<\/p>\n
Muslims for Humanity roped in community- based organisation Natal Memon Jamaat (NMJ) to assist with the project.<\/p>\n
This project was completed within eight hours from conception and has been operational from January 1, said NMJ project co-ordinator Imraan Jooma.<\/p>\n
This first-of-a-kind facility will allow Covid-19 patients to be assessed and made comfortable before admission.<\/p>\n
Critically ill patients were waiting outside the hospital in cars without medical assistance, awaiting spare beds at this state-of-the-art facility.<\/p>\n
This facility, besides being manned by professional medical interns, is equipped with oxygenators and oximeters among other medical equipment, some of which was supplied by the Caring Sisters Network.<\/p>\n
Hospital chairperson Dr Ayoob Bux praised the speedy effort.<\/p>\n
