All hospitals in Cebu Province have been placed under code white alert starting December 21, 2024, until January 6, 2025, as a preparation for health emergencies during the New Year celebrations. Albert Domingo, a spokesperson for the Department of Health, clarified that this is not meant to alarm the public but rather signifies that all doctors and nurses are ready to respond to emergencies.
During a code white alert, hospitals are required to have all health workers, including general and orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, internists, operating room nurses, ophthalmologists, and otorhinolaryngologists, stationed at hospitals, ready to respond to medical emergencies at any time. This also includes activating the hospital Operations Center (OPCEN) to coordinate with the DOH regional and central offices regarding emergencies. In line with this, the DOH urges the public to use precautionary measures to avoid accidents, such as fireworks and other dangerous items. However, if the use of fireworks for New Year celebrations is unavoidable, it is important to prioritize safety
