Raquel Fortun, one of only two forensic pathologists in the Philippines, is using her skills to show how other doctors falsely claimed some victims of the country’s drug war had died natural deaths.
Its cause is not known and hospital authorities could not be reached for comment.
Dr Jay Germer, professor at the University of Philippines’ College of Medicine said all of the hospital’s staff and patients were safe and accounted for.
“The problem is now smoke in the wards,” she said.
Fire in PGH ORSA already out. The problem now is smoke in the wards. So far all patients and staff are safe and accounted for.
Vice President Leni Robredo made an appeal on Twitter for “big, industrial fans” to clear the smoke caused by the fire.
Appealing to anyone with big, industrial fans who would be willing to lend them. PGH urgently needs them to dissipate the smoke that enveloped the hospital due to the fire. Thank you.
