In a Twitter post, PGH neurosurgeon Ron Baticulon said the hospital is in need of ready-to-eat food, bottled water, bed linen, and pillows.
“For food, bring to Ortoll [building], left side when entering from Taft. For non-food items, bring to Nurses Home, right side when entering from Taft,” Baticulon wrote.
Following the fire that hit part of the UP Philippine General Hospital in the early hours of the morning on May 16, the UP-PGH needs your help.

Here are the scientific reasons or proof that the virus can be transmitted via air stated in the summary:
“First superspreading events account for substantial SARS-CoV-2 transmission; indeed, such events may be the pandemic’s primary drivers.” The researchers cited choir concerts, room sizes, care homes, correctional facilities and other areas where humans interact.
“Long-range transmission of SARS-CoV-2 between people in adjacent rooms but never in each other’s presence has been documented in quarantine hotels.”
“Third, asymptomatic or presymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from people who are not coughing or sneezing is likely to account for at least a third, and perhaps up to 59% of all transmission globally and is a key way SARS-CoV-2 has spread around the world.”
