DOH tracker: 27 Metro Manila COVID-19 hospitals at ‘danger’ level as of Oct 6

MANILA, Philippines — Some 27 of the 126 Metro Manila hospitals catering to COVID-19 patients were categorized under the “danger” level as of October 6 due to shrinking bed capacity, the Department of Health (DOH) has shown.

This while total bed capacity for the whole of Metro Manila remains at the “warning” level with 52.6 percent or 3,369 of 6,408 COVID-19 beds currently occupied.

DOH explained that the “danger” level means beds for COVID-19 patients in hospitals have more than 70 percent occupancy. These hospitals, it added, are vulnerable to reaching full capacity in case there is a surge of COVID-19 cases in their areas.

On the other hand, a “warning” level means that hospitals have a 30 percent to 70 percent utilization rate while hospitals tagged as “safe” are those that have less than 30 percent bed occupancies.

Of the 27 hospitals declared under the “danger” level, eight were recorded to have reached 100 percent bed occupancy. These were the Allied Care Experts (Ace) Medical Center Valenzuela, Mary Chiles General Hospital Inc., National Center for Mental Health, Rosario Maclang Bautista Hospital, SDS Medical Center, Taguig Pateros District Hospital, University of Santo Tomas Hospital, and Victoriano Luna Medical Center.

This table lifted from ncovtracker.doh.gov.ph shows the COVID-19 bed capacity of Metro Manila hospitals as of October 6, 2020.

INQUIRER.net used DOH’s most available data, dated October 6, 2020, posted in its COVID-19 tracker as the basis for this analysis.

It should be noted that the latest data excludes information from 10 medical facilities namely, Alabang Medical Clinic Muntinlupa, Cabarles Maternity Medical and Children’s Clinic, Caloocan City North Medical Center, Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo Hospital, Jesus Immaculate Concepcion Hospital, Taguig Doctors Hospital, University of the Philippines Health Service, Valenzuela City Emergency Hospital, Vian Family Hospital II, and Villarosa Hospital, Inc.

It was unclear whether these hospitals were removed from DOH’s list of 136 COVID-19 hospitals in Metro Manila (as of September 30) or simply do not have any information available at this time. Nevertheless, INQUIRER.net has sought clarification regarding the matter from DOH, which has yet to respond as of this posting.

INQUIRER.net’s analysis tries to provide a picture of how prepared COVID-19 hospitals in Metro Manila would be in case of a sudden increase in new coronavirus cases. But only hospitals in Metro Manila that have available data on beds allocated for COVID-19 atients were included in this story.
