DOH: Low COVID19 deaths in PH due to treatment guidelines crafted early in pandemic
MANILA— The Department of Health on Friday said the relatively low COVID-19 fatality rate of the Philippines is partly due to clinical guidelines on how to manage coronavirus patients crafted by medical societies early into the pandemic.
“But by end of March we had a solid clinical practice guideline care of our medical societies,” Ho added. There were also guidelines on how to manage septic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome , which are among the effects of COVID-19. A management algorithm of the patients showed how doctors could check if a patient was eligible for certain drugs or if other drugs should be considered.
Ho said because Filipinos give much importance to family, people heeded the warnings to keep the elderly at home.
