Commissioner Gwen Pimentel-Gana likened the hospital situation in Metro Manila to “the plight of Mama Mary right before she gave birth to Jesus Christ and there was no room in the inn.”
“It pains me to even think about it,” she lamented.
She said she has been hearing stories of people waiting in hospital lobbies because there are no more rooms available. Other people have called countless contacts just to help them secure a spot in any hospital, but to no avail, she added.
In many instances, she pointed out that some people even drive from one hospital to another in search of rooms, but they were met with rejections.
