Choosing Dr. Teodoro “Ted” Herbosa to head the country’s health department has sparked a backlash mainly because of his contentious remarks in the past. Here are some of them:
The remark was seen as dismissive of the immense hardships and sacrifices made by healthcare workers, who were already facing unprecedented pressures while performing their duties.
Jimenez responded by mentioning that he had led a peer-reviewed paper demonstrating the role of shared-room airborne transmission in COVID-19 superspreading. Herbosa clarified that healthcare facilities were experiencing a phase known as “surge capacity,” which resulted in overcrowding and strain on their capacity to accommodate patients.
