endIndex: Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 5) — A group of physicians on Monday said it has received reports that the supply of personal protective equipment for hospital staff treating COVID-19 patients is dwindling amid the surge in COVID-19 cases. Philippine College of Physicians Vice President Dr. Maricar Limpin, who works at government hospital Philippine Heart Center and private facility Mary Johnston Hospital, said they are concerned about the decreasing number of protective gear and the quality of some PPE that are available. "Meron pang available PPE, but of course, para sa amin nakikita namin na ang ibang PPE — siguro sabihin na natin na — hindi kami comfortable in really using kasi baka pati kami magkaroon ng infection," she told CNN Philippines. "Sa iba, I heard, na nauubusan na rin sila sa ibang hospitals. I hope mabigyan ng pansin ang PPE na ito."
