Several medical practitioners on Wednesday called on healthy individuals to do unpaid and voluntary blood donations in observance of the National Blood Donors Week 2022.
Hospitals are getting full with COVID-19 cases. Please protect yourself and your family, PGH spokesperson Dr. Jonas del Rosario said in a Facebook post.
Dr. del Rosario also urged the public to follow health protocols as the country has been reporting an increase in new COVID-19 cases.
Dr. Dennis Ordoña, head of COVID department of the East Avenue Medical Center, said that while the hospitals ICU has always been full, they witnessed an increase in the trend of COVID cases. So what is happening now is we are allocating more beds for COVID patients which were previously allocated for non-COVID patients, Dr. Ordoña added.
