The Philippine General Hospital (PGH) is facing a manpower shortage as coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infections in the country continue to soar.
In an interview with ANC on Monday, Sept. 13, PGH Spokesperson Dr. Jonas del Rosario said the state-run hospital continues to grapple with staff shortage as some of their health workers “getting sick.”
“A lot of patients are coming in, we’re operating on fully capacity, talagang stretched out ang aming manpower ,” he added. “It’s so hard to demand in a situation wherein about 70 percent of the population has not even received a single dose, so medyo malaking inequality,” he added.
