Ljubljana Central Hospital Crafting Flu Pandemic Plan

Ljubljana, 5 August - The Ljubljana UKC hospital is drawing up a plan for a swine flu pandemic, expected in the autumn or winter. The idea is to close off the main UKC building and to treat people infected with swine flu in more isolated or dislocated units, for example the old children's hospital, the UKC medical director Brigita Drnovsek Olup has said.
