Ninewells Hospital has teamed up with Jetwing Hotels to offer a intermediate care facility for COVID-19 patients. Under this new partnership, Ninewells Hospital has appropriated the Jetwing Beach Hotel in Negombo as a treatment facility for COVID-19 patients. The entire Jetwing facility has become a dedicated, state-of-the-art care centre, with the support and guidance of the Health Ministry.
The facility has been specially designed to ensure that every patient sent over is given the utmost attention, comfort and care. The duration of their stay will be a minimum 10 days during which period they will be under the supervision of trained and professional medical staff, supported by a team of committed healthcare professionals and nursing staff, the company said in a media release.
Dr. Vibash Wijeratne, Chief Operating Officer/Medical Director at Ninewells Hospital, said: 'This exclusive facility gives patients a range of options which combines the best of both worlds. Patients have the option of a comfortable, luxury experience, at one of the island’s finest beachside hotels. Facilities include spacious rooms, a private balcony and beautiful seaside views. In addition to this, you receive the finest healthcare during your stay, delivered by highly trained professionals in a way that is personalized, attentive and professional.”
All activities within the guest-patient facility will be closely monitored to provide patients with the most comfortable and safest situation possible.
The facility is also supported by countless features specially installed for the purpose at hand. This includes a High Dependency Unit (HDU) equipped with patient monitors, ECG machines and transport ventilators in Negombo. Additionally, the services of the Consultant Physician at the District General Hospital, Negombo have been professionally retained for the express purpose of attending to complicated cases on a visiting basis. A standby ambulance is always on-site for the safe transfer of emergency patients to Ninewells Hospital Colombo, if and when needed.
