00:00The emergency room is full, even though the East Avenue Medical Center is an intensive care unit.

00:08The main illness of ER patients are stroke, pneumonia, leptospirosis, dengue, and kidney disease.

00:15The East Avenue Medical Center has a capacity of 150 emergency rooms, but for now, only 154 patients are here.

00:25For those who are not in a critical condition, they can rest here in this hallway, but there are also those who are in wheelchairs.

00:34According to the East Avenue Medical Center, they have prepared this scenario.

00:38This usually happens when Burmese patients enter the ER.

00:42They just made a way for the patients to fit in.

00:46Sometimes, they can reach up to 200 ER patients.

00:50There is a line of patients wearing life support machines while waiting to enter the ICU, which is also full for now.

00:59Even though it's full, Chelsea still brought her mother here who has leptospirosis.

01:04She had leptospirosis.

01:07According to the doctor in the ER, her leptospirosis is moderate to severe.

01:14How many hospitals have you been to before you came here?

01:17We've been to two.

01:19The emergency hospital in Valenzuela and the NKTI.

01:24This is also the experience of a private hospital in Quezon City.

01:28Their ER and ICU is full for the past few weeks.

01:33Most of our cases lately are strokes, heart attacks, pneumonia, and dengue.

01:41That's the most common.

01:43According to the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines,

01:46Maybe it's because of the sudden changes, the time is different.

01:51And what happened to us, the typhoon Christine, it affected a lot.

01:56According to the Department of Health, the number of patients in the ER continues to decline.

02:02But there is nothing to worry about, especially since they are lowering the number of cases of dengue and leptospirosis across the country.

02:09There is not one, two, or even a group of diseases that are full.

02:15And what I'm saying is that not all of them are full.

02:18The hospital chiefs we talked to said that this is not new to them.

02:23The DOH is always up to date with the status of our hospitals, but it is not a cause for concern now.

02:29So that it will not reach the hospitals and add to the number of patients,

02:33the public, especially the seniors, is advised.

02:37Their maintenance medicine, they really need to take it without fail.

02:43We should avoid foods that are too salty, too sweet, and too fat.

02:48So that our blood pressure, our blood sugar, we don't get high blood sugar, diabetes.

02:54We should exercise so that our heart, our body, and our lungs run smoothly.

03:01For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok 24 Horas.
