Lung Center pleads for more nurses as hospital battles COVID19 surge

MANILA - The Lung Center of the Philippines has called on the Department of Health to provide additional nurses as it has been occupied by patients with COVID-19 for the past 2 weeks.

The Lung Center of the Philippines is a designated COVID-19 referral hospital in Quezon City. It has a 200-bed capacity, of which 55 percent are dedicated to patients battling the new coronavirus. While under strain from rising coronavirus infections, Francisco said their medical staff, especially doctors, were sufficient to man all the wards.Since last year, the hospital has tallied 205 coronavirus infections among its personnel. Currently, it has 17 active cases.

"They know how to handle things very well but once they are out of the COVID wing or ward and they become lax, that's the time they get infected."
