A PRIVATE hospital in Cebu City is now in hot water after Councilor Mary Ann de los Santos asked the Department of Health to investigate its alleged refusal to cater to an emergency.
“Unfortunately, for the flimsiest and the most outrageous of reasons, she was declined. The reason that was given was that the hospital has no staff to cater to her emergency that day,” said de los Santos. The councilor lamented that the hospital failed to assess the patient and outrightly dismissed her aunt by saying, “We have no staff.”
She said if her aunt, who had the capacity to foot her hospital bill, was not given emergency treatment, how much more the ordinary patient, especially those coming from the marginalized sector. The councilor also moved to encourage Congress to create legislative measures that will improve the salaries of medical workers as a way to address understaffing in hospitals.
