NKTI reiterates no more room for COVID19 patients; dialysis services only for PUIs
MANILA — The National Kidney and Transplant Institute has reiterated its policy of admitting only persons under investigation for COVID-19 who may need dialysis and other specialized treatment, and not those already afflicted with the contagious respiratory disease.
Patients positive for COVID-19 will be referred to other facilities, according to Rosete-Liquete, in order to avoid the spread of the disease among its immunocompromised patients. Rosete-Liquete said NKTI has already reached its full capacity in terms of admitting COVID-19 cases. However, Rosete-Liquete said they may offer medical advice for those patients who may not qualify for admission at NKTI.
