Hospitals will mobilize internal emergency doctors to reinforce external emergencies during periods of pressure

Hospitals will mobilize internal emergency doctors to support external emergencies during peak times, as mandated by a new health ministry directive. This measure aims to address exceptional patient influx and long wait times. The directive, effective Friday, outlines the organization between internal and external emergency services within the National Health Service. Financial incentives for additional work were introduced earlier this year, now including internal emergency doctors. The directive emphasizes the need for collaboration to ensure patient safety and resource utilization. Internal emergency doctors must assist external services during critical situations, while respecting their specialties and competencies. Hospital administrations must adapt their procedures within 60 days.
