Roxas City puts up facility for patients with mild and moderate COVID

The Roxas City Government will establish its own Temporary Treatment and Monitoring Facility at Hortus Botanicus for mild and moderate COVID-19 cases.

The project is part of efforts to ease hospitals that are overwhelmed with COVID-19 and non-COVID cases.

Roxas City Mayor Ronnie Dadivas said he and the Capiz Medical Society, Hospital Administrators, City Health Officer Dr. Lory Cahilog, Dr Faye Besana, Councilor Paul Baticados and Ronald Amigo of the CoVid-19 Command Center inspected the proposed site to determine the possibility of the project.

The Department of Health (DOH)-Capiz led by  Dr. Mary Joy Castroverde and Provincial Health Office personnel, Dr. Cahilog, Mr. Ronald Amigo and sanday Dr. Rene Huinda and Dr. Pip Acepcion of Capiz Medical Society also led another inspection on Thursday.

Dadivas said they are now preparing the equipment and logistical requirements and personnel for the facility’s operations.

“Kita nagapasalamat man sa grupo sang mga doktor sa Roxas City nga nagpahayag nga sila magaboluntaryo sa pagbulig sa daku nga tikang sang City Government agud mapasaka ang  kapasidad sang mga health facilities  sa pagpakigbato sa CoVid-19 sa syudad,” he added.
