There are 103 epidemiologists in Croatia who deal with infectious diseases, which in peacetime was enough to cover the daily challenges, but now, when the focus is on the coronavirus and the great epidemic, this profession is falling off its feet and crying out for new strength.
For example, Saturday was the largest number of new cases. As many as 306 people were diagnosed with Covid-19. Assuming that on average each of them had ten contacts, that day 103 epidemiologists had to call more than 3,000 people. Of course, there are repeated calls to some contacts, inquiries from people from self-isolation and more.
The director of the Croatian Institute of Public Health, Krunoslav Capak, notes that new forces are needed at the moment and that this request has already been made to the Ministry of Health.
- People are overworked and there is too much work. We would be very happy to get a hundred more people, but we hope for more - says Capak.
Namely, the solution to the problem can be seen in two variants. One is a final year medical student, but more likely are newly graduated young doctors who start working under supervision. It is calculated that they could spend part of that time under supervision in epidemiology, but the regulations should be changed for that. They would typically conduct interviews with the contacts of the infected
