Queues of 50 hours: British hospitals unable to cope with the number of patients.


Flu is causing patients to wait for help: British hospitals are overwhelmed
According to The Times, in the United Kingdom, patients are forced to wait too long for emergency medical assistance in some hospitals due to the increasing number of patients with the flu. According to a representative of the National Health Service, the number of cases has risen to 5,000 per day.
The number of infections is simply dangerously high. Hospitals are unable to serve all patients in Time, leading to long waits for emergency assistance. This is a serious problem that requires urgent consideration and action.
Last week, nine hospitals declared a state of emergency. For example, the Royal University Hospital in Liverpool reported that the wait time for emergency assistance for new patients could exceed 50 hours. One patient even had to wait more than 91 hours. The administration of the university hospital in Birmingham urged patients to carefully reconsider their plans before heading to the hospital.
Recently, the UK was hit by bad weather with snow and frosts, which also led to transport problems in some regions of the country.
