在应对史无前例的COVID-19疫情大流行的整个过程中,加拿联邦大政府一直与各省和地区进行定期接触,评估遭受疫情大流行再度打击最严重地区的需求,并提供相关支援以帮助守护加拿大人的健康和安全。

1月22日,联邦公共安全和应急准备部长比尔•布莱尔(Bill Blair)阁下、加拿大公共服务和采购部长阿妮塔•阿南德(Anita Anand)阁下以及卫生部长帕蒂•海度(Patty Hajdu)阁下确认,加拿大联邦政府将向安大略省派出两个联邦移动医疗站(Mobile Health Units, MHU)到安大略省。

移动医疗站MHU将缓解由于安大略省严峻COVID-19疫情而造成省内医院紧张的压力。MHU是联邦COVID-19过负荷快速增容计划之下提供的服务之一,这一计划在各省和地区最需要的时候向他们提供设备和资源。

这两个移动医疗站计划将尽快部署到大多伦多地区。根据COVID-19病例数量和该省的ICU容量的情况,这些医疗站可在2021年5月1日之前一直为安大略省服务。

这些MHU将提供更多的医院病床,并有助于将非重症监护患者从重症监护中转移出来,以确保那些最迫切需要的人可以获得专门的资源。每个MHU移动医疗站可以容纳100张病床。这些医疗站将由所在省配备人员。

News release

Government of Canada provides Mobile Health Units to assist Ontario with COVID-19 response

From: Public Safety Canada

January 22, 2021 – Ottawa, Ontario

Throughout its response to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Canada has been in regular contact with provinces and territories to assess the needs of regions hardest hit by the pandemic’s resurgence and to provide support that will help protect the health and safety of Canadians.

Today, the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the Honourable Bill Blair, the Minister of Public Services and Procurement Canada, the Honourable Anita Anand, and the Minister of Health, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, confirmed that the Government of Canada will deploy two federal Mobile Health Units (MHU) to Ontario, in response to a provincial request for assistance.

The MHUs will relieve pressure on Ontario’s strained hospital capacity due to the prevalence of COVID-19 in the province. MHUs are just one of the services offered under the COVID-19 Federal Rapid Surge Capacity – a means for provinces and territories to access equipment and resources, when they need it most.

The two MHUs are scheduled to be deployed to the Greater Toronto Area as rapidly as possible. These units will be available to Ontario until May 1, 2021, depending on COVID-19 case load and ICU capacity in the province.

The MHUs will provide additional hospital beds and facilitate the transfer of non-critical care patients out of critical care to ensure those specialized resources are available for those who need it most. Each MHU has the capacity to include 100 hospital beds. The units will be staffed by the province.
