CEBU CITY, Philippines — The death of a 45-year-old coronavirus patient from Barangay Labangon, who reportedly jumped off from one of the buildings of the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center , should be a wake-up call to Cebuanos that these patients need more support.
The repeated events are a huge concern for the city, says Tumulak, as this reflects low morale and hopelessness in the patients. Discrimination from the public also contributes to increased anxiety and fear of the patients. “We have partner schools, institutions, and non-government organizations that are willing to provide assistance to our patients for their mental health needs. Please do not be scared to ask help,” said the councilor.The councilor also urged the public to be more kind and supportive to patients suffering COVID-19.
