CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY —Coming out from the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities in Northern Mindanao are building more hospitals to address the shortage of beds and staff in case there is a new emergency in the future.
In nearby Gingoog City, trader Arsenio Sebastian said the Polytechnic business group has started construction of a 100-bed capacity hospital that would complement a kidney center being planned by the local government. The plan is to build up the ratio of hospital bed capacity to one per 1,000 patients by 2028. At present, the bed-to-patient ratio in Region 10 is 1: 2,328.
Ralph Paguio, vice president of Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company and business sector representative to RDC 10, said government should not be caught unprepared again where hospitals were teeming with record numbers of COVID-19 patients.
