‘COVID-19 patients gamutin sa mga bahay’

MANILA, Philippines — Dahil puno na ang mga ospital, nanawagan si 1-PACMAN Partylist Rep. Enrico “Eric” Pineda sa mga kinauukulan na payagang gamutin sa kanilang mga tahanan maging ang mga kritikal na COVID-19 patients.

Sinabi ni Pineda na ang Pilipinas ay number 1 sa Southeast Asia sa bilang ng COVID infections at patuloy na tumataas ang nasabing bilang.

“As medical equipment in public hospitals are limited, we need to focus on getting more medical equipment that is easy to transport that hospitals can lend to patients who are being treated at home,” giit ng solon.

Ayon kay Pineda, dapat gawing halimbawa ng Department of Health ang gobyerno ng Panamia na pinadalhan ng ‘wellness package’ ang mga COVID positive citizens para makarekober ang mga ito sa kanilang mga tahanan.

“In the package are vitamins and Ivermectin, which has been proven to reduce  COVID in infected patients. Sending a package such as this is easy and even more cost effective. Which should be coupled with access to medical advice through telemedicine,” punto niya.

“The patients should be able to contact the doctors easily through the phone or via the internet for consultation. Home care is a possible solution that I think we should look into,” sabi pa niya.
