Updated: Three emergency field hospitals installed after Davao Oro quake
The Philippine Red Cross and the Davao de Oro Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office have installed three temporary tent hospitals to help the Feb. 1 quake-damaged provincial hospital cater to patients.
The PDRRMO said the provisional field hospitals were installed on Sunday inside the compound of the Davao de Oro Provincial Hospital in Montevista town, which was badly damaged by the strong tremor. The establishment of the makeshift hospitals followed after some 90 patients were evacuated from the DDOPH and transferred to the Montevista Sports Complex as structural intensity assessment continue.
Governor Dorothy Gonzaga said the air-conditioned emergency field hospital, with a capacity of 14 beds each, is a big help in catering to patients who need immediate medical assistance.Currently, the DDOPH is limiting the number of admissions due to the damage sustained during the earthquake in its infrastructure based on the result of SIA.
On Feb. 1, the province was jolted by a Magnitude 6 earthquake with the epicenter traced in New Bataan town.
