The Philippine government needs to find and hire thousands of nurses to be able to maintain adequate care for COVID-19 patients in Metro Manila, the Octa Research group said on Friday, April 23.
As Metro Manila continues to experience a surge of new COVID-19 infections, hospitals overflow with patients seeking care.
Through the surge, the Department of Health has been announcing its augmentation of health system capacities with isolation and intensive care unit beds. But Octa asks, “Who will take care of the patients?”
There are around 16,000 nurses in Metro Manila with varying shift schedules. In Octa’s model, the capital region only has around half of the nurses needed to staff 9,745 beds allotted for COVID-19 in a standard care setting.
