Allied medical staff at work
While some have managed to ease into a new normal life at home amid the pandemic, others are still out there risking their own lives to either save other people or make life much more comfortable for those who are staying at home.
In medical institutions under the MVP Groupâs Metro Pacific Hospital Holdings, staff under the Covid-19 crisis teams run the risk of contracting the dreaded disease themselves. Despite precautions to shield its healthcare workers from the virus, the frontliners still have a non-zero chance of infection.
Staff nurses Roselle Gale Arranz of the Manila Doctors Hospital and Glyza Cris Iguban of St. Elizabeth Hospital in General Santos City are among the many brave men and women in the medical field who have unfortunately contracted Covid-19 in the line of duty.
The extraordinary mission of the ambulance and crew
You see at least one ambulance a day on the road. Here’s what’s inside those emergency vehicles that are equipped to transport the sick and the injured to the hospital.
There are several organizations with a fleet of ambulances, among them, the hospitals, Philippine Red Cross, local government units, and private companies offering that service, like the Lifeline.
The types of ambulances indicates the medical equipment and medicines each carry. There’s the basic and advance life support ambulances and the “ER on wheels” of Lifeline.
The ambulances have saved thousands of lives but the stories behind the heroic acts of the crew who risked their own lives to do that are usually only shared among private groups. Despite the risks, they continue to follow the mission to respond to an emergency to save lives.
