As the coronavirus epidemic deepens, steps are being taken by the Czech Government to avoid the collapse of the health system, which is burdened by an rising number of hospitalizations and the spread of infection among medical personnel.
The government is also seeking to gain funding from abroad to tide over hospitals at the height of the outbreak, in addition to ordering in medical students and calling on volunteers.
The Czech Government has called for all those with medical experience, including those who have left their profession or are employed abroad, to come back and help as the Czech Republic is preparing for the worst health crisis in its recent history.
While the Czech Republic has a strong health system, the ranks of coronavirus doctors and nurses have been depleted and there will soon be a shortage of hospital beds and ventilators due to the sharp increase in the number of hospitalizations.
On Thursday the government formally approved the possible deployment of up to 300 medics from other NATO and EU member states for a period of 90 days.
Defense Minister Lubomir Metnar said the first to arrive would be a team of 28 military doctors from the Texas and Nebraska National Guards.
