The Ministry of Health introduces an additional way to return pulse oximeters
The Ministry of Health, in consultation with Poczta Polska, introduces the possibility of refunding pulse oximeters to the post office. Patients included in the home medical care program, after insulation, have the option of choosing a convenient form of return assigned to them as part of the device program. They can take advantage of the option to collect the parcel by Kurier Poczta Polska or transfer the device packed in a return envelope directly to the selected postal facility.
The pulse oximeters distributed by the Polish Post Office takes place as part of the Home Medical Care (House) program implemented by the Ministry of Health. The House program is a remote monitoring system for the parameters of people infected with Covid-19, whose health allows you to insulate at home. It allows you to quickly detect patients who should be directed to hospital treatment due to the deterioration of health. As part of the diagnostics, the level of saturation, i.e. the saturation of arterial blood with oxygen, is monitored.
Patients receive pulse oximeters and also use the system to transfer and monitor data at the DOM Contact Center. Until now, as part of cooperation with the Ministry of Health, postcards delivered 175,000. pulse oximeters. Until now, this phrase was possible only by courier, by reporting in the Pulsocare application, hotline or dedicated e-mail address.
Currently, the Ministry of Health also provides the heaters with a convenient option to provide pulse oximeter to any postal, office (UP) or branch (FUP), excluding postal agencies. The list of all postal offices ready to receive pulse oximeters (offices or branches) is available at www.placowki.poczta-polska.pl . The person who ends with the insulation himself chooses the facility to which he will give the pulse oximeter. For safety reasons, only a device packed in a return envelope will be taken at the post office, which has been delivered with a pulse oximeter.
