Lapu-Lapu may need more nurses

Sayson said they have enough staff in the city’s isolation facility but is worried with the number of nurses in hospitals.

“So far, we are still okay with the manpower in our isolation facility. But, I think we might have a problem with the manpower in our hospitals,” Sayson said. According to Sayson, there are more patients being admitted to hospitals in Lapu-Lapu City not only because of the coronavirus disease 2019 but also because of other illnesses.“We had our meeting last week with the hospitals in Lapu-Lapu. We asked them to expand their bed capacity, they agreed. But they are also asking us to help them or assist in getting more manpower, specifically nurses,” he said.

If DOH-7 can’t help in augmenting nurses for Lapu-Lapu then that’s the time Lapu-Lapu City government will be hiring or looking for nurses to be deployed in hospitals in the city. As of 10:40 a.m. of June 23, Lapu-Lapu City has 303 cases of COVID-19 with 17 deaths and 88 recoveries. /bmjoThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
