Manila hospitals now giving F2F services
THE hospitals being run by the city government of Manila are now opening up their face-to-face services, particularly consultation, in view of the continuing decline in the number of COVID-19 cases.
Manila Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna announced this at the city’s weekly capital report.
Lacuna added that in her discussion with Mayor Isko Moreno, she and the Aksyon Demokratiko presidential bet agreed to the idea, adding that everyone needing health services are welcome in Manila for as long as the city’s capacity allows.
“Unti-unti na po tayong nagbubukas ng ating mga ospital dahil sa pagbaba ng COVID kaya ‘yung mga naantala ang pagpapa- check up, bukas na po ang ating outpatient department (OPD),” Lacuna said.
She added: “‘Yung mga natatakot pumunta sa ospital, ngayon ay pwede na kayong personal na magpa-check up. May face-to-face consultation na sa OPD. Lahat ay welcome makakuha ng health services, sabi nga ni Yorme.” The city government runs the Gat Andres Bonifacio Memorial Medical Center (first district); Ospital ng Tondo (2nd district); Justice Abad Santos General Hospital (3rd district); Ospital ng Sampaloc (4th district); Ospital ng Maynila (5th district); Sta. Ana Hospital (6th district) and the Manila COVID-19 Field Hospital.
