Acute gastro, cholera cases up in Iloilo City

CHLORINATION. A chart showing the chlorination status of water wells in Iloilo City. Eight of the 14 samples from wells taken in areas with cholera cases were found positive for the disease as reported by the City Health Office during a press conference on Monday (Sept. 26, 2022). (Screen grab from Iloilo City Government live streaming) ILOILO CITY - The number of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) cases here has reached 713 with the addition of 12 more on Sept. 25 while cholera cases climbed to 30 with seven new confirmed cases, the City Health Office reported on Monday. "Of the seven (cholera) cases, two were from Mandurriao, three from Arevalo, and two from Molo," said CHO acting health officer, Dr. Annabelle Tang, in a press conference on Monday. Further, of the 14 specimens from water wells in areas with cases that were taken by the Department of Health (DOH) and sent to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) on Sept. 14, eight were found positive for cholera, bringing to nine the total number of wells that were already found positive for the disease. "After this (press conference) we will be condemning wells. It is very unfortunate that despite our chlorination, it has not stopped since probably we have already reached our water table and as we have said before they are very near the canals and septic tanks. Even if we chlorinate, there is constant exposure to contaminants," Tang said. Of the 713 acute gastroenteritis cases in the city, 652 have recovered while 13 died. Dr. Marie Jocelyn Te, Medical Officer IV of the Department of Health Western Visayas Center for Health Development, in a separate interview said cholera is one of the notifiable diseases under AGE. If not treated at once, cholera, which is characterized bypainless abdominal discomfort, can accelerate into moderate to severe dehydration, she added. Meanwhile, Tang said the DOH will conduct on Tuesday bacteriological tests for water wells where the new eight cases sourced their supply, as well as in other barangays with a high incidence of acute gastroenteritis. Of the 16,528 water wells in the city, 7,892 have been chlorinated, 8,506 are yet to be inspected and 130 were already condemned. Mayor Jerry P. Trenas, in the same press conference, said they are glad that those affected by AGE were diagnosed early on as they have been promptly treated, which prevented more deaths. He said he will meet with officials of the Metro Pacific Iloilo Water, one of the water distribution utilities in the city and ask them to hasten their development works as the city needs to have working water pipes. "We really have to do something about it," Trenas said. (PNA) }

Acute gastro deaths in Iloilo City climb to 9, cases now 354

ACUTE GASTRO PROBLEM.

Tang said that as of Sunday, cases have increased to 354 spread in 85 barangays in the city. (PNA photo courtesy of Arnold Almacen/City Mayor's Office) ILOILO CITY - The number of cases of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in Iloilo City has climbed to 354 with the death toll now at nine. "Our deaths for acute gastroenteritis we already have nine, the latest was a three-year-old male from Sto. Nino Sur, Arevalo," said City Health Office (CHO) officer-in-charge Dr. Annabelle Tang in a briefing on Monday, adding that the city also has eight cholera cases. The latest fatality experienced symptoms at 6 a.m. on Sept. 2 and died at 5 p.m. of the same day. However, she said 191 have already recovered, 93 are admitted to hospitals and 61 are being managed at home. In the same briefing, Dr. Roland Jay Fortuna from the CHO said they have already inspected 10,855 deep wells, 541 of which have been chlorinated while 25 are recommended for condemnation. "That is why we are asking the help of our compliance team and others to help in the cleanup and in chlorinating of our wells," Fortuna said. Of the 241 water refilling stations listed by CHO staff, 188 are inspected while 50 were found to be non-compliant. "(An) initial eight have been closed and 21 more will be closed in the succeeding days this week," he added. Non-compliant are those operating without necessary documents such as permit and water potability test while stations found to be contaminated will be temporarily closed for a retest. Apart from the water retesting as with the case of water refilling stations and cleanup and chlorination for wells, the city government has already tapped the support of local radio stations for the advocacy campaign. Tang also added that they also sought the help of the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), City Engineer's Office (CEO) and the Department of Labor and Employment through its Tulong Pangkabuhayan para sa mga Disadvantaged/Displaced workers to help in cleaning the wells in barangays, especially those that are very near septic tanks. "Although based on PD (Presidential Decree) 856 Section 13, it is not allowed, however, if they don't have any source of water, we can make other strategies for that as long as they will not use it for drinking. We are also recommending that despite being chlorinated, they have to chlorinate their water container as well," she said. In a press conference Monday, Mayor Jerry P. Trenas said actions to address the AGE cases should be urgent and should merit the necessary support. (PNA) }
