NCR Covid-19 Referral Centers

NCR Covid-19 Referral Centers

  • Philippine General Hospital

  • Lung Center of the Philippines

  • Jose N. Rodriquez Memorial Hospital

The PGH initially committed 130 beds for COVID-19 patients.

Legaspi clarified that this did not mean that PGH would be strictly open to COVID-19 patients only.

“Admission to the referral center will initially be limited to mild PUIS who are at high risk for deterioration," he explained further. "Eventually, when testing for COVID-19 has been made readily available, only confirmed COVID-19 patients will be sent to the referral centers.”

Under this system, persons under investigation (PUI) in mild condition would only be triaged at their local health units.
