@CMOIreland Thany you for your meticulous work throughout all of this. You really did make us feel safe during such a worrying time. Thank you to your family for sharing you with us. I will be thinking and praying for you all. God bless #ThankYouTony
A Dublin hospital that usually provides rehabilitation care for older people has turned its focus to the recovery of Covid-19 patients. Patients have attended the Clontarf Hospital for rehabilitation after being discharged from acute hospitals
So let’s be clear -not following public health advice is not consequence-free. It has an effect. What if it was your mum who ended up in intensive care? Or a loved one who passes away from this virus? Or a work colleague or neighbour who gets very ill. Stay the course. #StayHome
Our new 32 bed Covid rehab unit opened in Clontarf Hospital this week. Light at then of the tunnel for so many post ITU patients. So proud of all our IOH Clontarf staff who put so much passion into getting people back on their feet.
