While state media said the "anti-epidemic situation... has entered a definite phase of stability", rather than boasting of victory, North Korea said it would "redouble efforts to maintain perfection in the execution of state anti-epidemic policies". The reclusive country has never confirmed how many people caught Covid-19, apparently lacking testing supplies. But it said around 4.77 million fever patients have fully recovered and 74 died since late April. It has reported no new fever cases since July 30. South Korean officials and medical experts have cast doubts on those figures, especially the number of deaths. Shin Young-jeon, a professor at Hanyang University's medical school in Seoul, said while the peak of the first Covid wave may have passed, the stated fatalities were nearly "impossible" and there could be up to 50,000 deaths.

Nguyen Sinh Hien, director of Hanoi Heart Hospital, said the hospital will use up its protamine sulfate in a few more weeks and in case new orders do not arrive in time, the hospital would have to halt heart surgeries. Protamine sulfate is a medication that is used to reverse the effects of heparin, which is used to prevent blood clotting during open-heart surgery, bypass surgery, kidney dialysis, and blood transfusions. Hien said several other hospitals in Hanoi had also run out of protamine sulfate, which is irreplaceable in heart surgeries, and have had to borrow from other hospitals. He said for a typical heart operation, patients use up about three ampoules of protamine sulfate and the hospital consumes about 600-700 tubes per month. Due to a lack of this medicine, the hospital is reducing the number of surgeries and prioritizing only life-threatening cases. Hanoi Heart Hospital had planned to acquire this drug, which is currently out of supply. This is a drug that … [Read more...] about Hospitals at risk of suspending heart surgeries due to medication shortage
