Nilinaw ng pamunuan ng Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center (CGHMC) ang inilabas nitong ulat nitong weekend hinggil sa “full capacity” ng kanilang pasilidad.
“My memo was in reference to the 30% bed allocation for Covid positive patients as mandated by DOH whice we have complied,” ani CGHCM medical director Dr. Samuel Ang sa liham na ipinadala kay Health Sec. Francisco Duque.
Batay daw sa ginawa nilang hospital census, lumabas na puro mild COVID-19 patients ang inirerekomenda ng kanilang mga consultant na ma-admit sa ospital.
“This is because we do our own PCR testing with our own Molecular Laboratory. This triggers admissions even in patients with mild symptoms.”
“We want to reserve our Covid wards for the more symptomtic patients requiring immediate medical care.”
Nakipag-ugnayan na raw ang nasabing pagamutan sa Philippine General Hospital at San Lazaro Hospital, at iba pang quarantine facilities, para tumanggap ng pasyente mula sa kanilang pasilidad.
“This support from the Government has provided tremendous effect on the morale of our hospital staff.”
Nilinaw ni Dr. Ang na tumatanggap na muli ng non-COVID-19 patients ang kanilang pagamutan.
Una nang sinabi ni Health Usec. Maria Rosario Vergeire na 30-percent ang standard na bilang ng mga kama para sa COVID-19 na dapat inilalaan ng mga ospital.
“So if they declare that they have full capacity or the percentage of beds occupied in hospitals for COVID are high, we have to remember that these are just the assigned dedicated beds for COVID and not the entire hospital capacity.”
