Covid-19 bed capacity: Only 3 of 149 NCR hospitals under ‘critical’ level — DOH

MANILA, Philippines — Three out of 149 hospitals in Metro Manila were placed under critical level in terms of bed capacity solely for COVID-19 patients, based on data from the Department of Health (DOH) as of February 17.

This figure decreased from four hospitals recorded as “critical” last Feb. 12, consisting of 150 hospitals. 

Of the hospitals under “critical” level, two have already reached 100 percent bed occupancy, namely:

• Mary Chiles General Hospital Inc.
• Bernardino General Hospital I

The DOH classifies occupancy levels for Covid-19 beds in health centers as either critical, high risk, moderate, and safe.

Under the critical level, hospitals have already reached more than 85 percent of their bed occupancy for Covid-19 patients.

Hospitals are classified as high risk if 70 percent but not more than 85 percent of its Covid-19 beds are occupied.

Hospitals with a Covid-19 bed capacity of from 60 to 70 percent rate are classified as moderate.

And hospitals fall under the “safe” level if the bed utilization rate is less than 60 percent.

The bed occupancy rate for the whole of Metro Manila remains at the “safe” zone with 35 percent, or 2,518 out of the 7,190 total beds occupied.
