Senator Bong Go on Friday praised the government’s efforts to build more “pop-up” or modular hospitals to treat severe and critical Covid-19 patients.
“Kinokomendahan ko po ang inisyatibo ng gobyerno na paramihin pa ang mga medical facilities natin na nariyan upang tumugon sa mga pangangailangan ng ating COVID-19 patients,” the chair of the Senate health committee said.
“Dapat handa tayo parati. Ayaw nating makitang may pasyente na naghihingalo at hindi man lang matulungan ng gobyerno. Kaya naman napakahalaga ng ginagawang ito ng gobyerno. Gawin natin ang lahat ng ating makakaya para mailigtas ang buhay ng mga nagkakasakit,” Go added.
The Department of Public Works and Highways said on Tuesday it is planning to construct temporary treatment and monitoring facilities and off-site hospitals throughout Metro Manila to cater to increasing number of Covid-19 infections.
Some major hospitals, such as the Lung Center of the Philippines in Quezon City, have already commenced the expansion of their capacity with the use of prefabricated components which allow faster construction.
A mega modular hospital has also been planned to be constructed at the National Center for Mental Health compound in Mandaluyong City.
The DPWH also proposed the construction of three-cluster units of off-site dormitories which will serve as temporary shelters for medical frontliners who service the NCMH.
Earlier, the department built modular facilities to accommodate more patients at the Lung Center. A temporary shelter was also constructed for frontliners taking care of Covid-19 patients.
“Dagdagan pa po natin ang mga ganitong pasilidad para maisalba ang buhay ng kapwa nating Pilipino. Huwag natin hayaan na may mamamatay dahil walang malapitang pasilidad na mag-aalaga at gagamot sa kanila,” Go said.
