Patients who did not fully disclose their state of health or COVID-19 symptoms exposed doctors to the disease and led to several deaths, DOH says

The problem is not unique to the Philippines, the Health official said, as other countries have also seen frontline health workers succumb to the disease after getting infected by patients they were attending to.Vergeire added that some healthcare workers contract the disease as they lack protective gear, similar to what the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines Inc. said on Thursday.

"We should have the PPE. Second would be we need to be very,very sure that we are implementing our infection prevention and control procedures," Vergeire added."Once there’s a breach in protocol for these control procedures for infection, there becomes that risk for our healthcare workers to be infected."

Don't tell mw they dont watch HOUSE...Patients always lies.

Asa pa ga kau eh c kuku nga eh d nagawa sila pa

That could be, but not having enough ppe is a major factor too

Simply treat every patient as COVID positive. Dapat ganyan ang level ng pag-iingat ng mga medical practitioners.

Kasalanan nyo rin yan DOH!

And the No. 1 guilty of this is... K***? 😜

Basa KokoPimentel KokoPimentel KokoResign KokoKulong KokoVID19 KokoArrest KokoResignNow get mo na o d p rin?

True... STOP LYING

Can someone please dumb down the logic behind this? Cos I apparently have no brain cells anymore to understand it. /doctors /nurses /health experts /med students I'm a second year med student failing patho, pharm and pedia btw. So you can go a little technical on me. Lol.

Koko. Very Koko. Ano baaa

Can someone please explain to me the logic behind this? Someone educated and knows what they're talking about pls.

Ung walang KOKOTE ang tirahin nyo!!!

Maybe they didn't know they were positive. This illness mimics colds and flu illness in the beginning.

Agree... and sad to say a Senator of the Republic at that did the same thing. So DOH you want to prove a point start with Sen Koko.

exhibit 1 cuckoo pimentel

Dapat sabihan ng DOHgovph ay ang mga magangnawong ng mga government leaders...ang serbisyo para sa SARILI lamang.

Pathologic liars talaga karamihan xa mga politiko sa pilipinas.

Hope they can put sanctions on this like makukulong habangbuhay plus pay for damages. They need to craft for heavy penalties for those violators so no one will abide the protocols. Hays!

Like koko na walang awa sa kapwa nya.... tapos compassion sabi ng doj... compassion nyo mga mukha nyo!!!

KOKO

If karma is real, these patients should not have survived.

Like Koko so ano plano

These patients should be filed with criminal charges.

Koko

Koko_Pimentel FYI, ganito un kasimple Mr SenAtor, and you are asking for compassion? KokoResignNow kokokulong DOHgovph

ofcourse, it is a common sense.

Like kokoshit
