Updates on medical assistance of the DOH,
00:02
the reports of the Christine storm,
00:04
we will find out together with Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo,
00:08
the spokesperson of the Department of Health.
00:10
Asec Domingo, good afternoon.
00:13
Good afternoon, Asec Nguyen.
00:15
Good afternoon to you and to Ninia,
00:17
to all the viewers and listeners.
00:20
Asec, for our countrymen to understand,
00:24
in what regions is the blue code status still high
00:28
and what does this mean?
00:31
Yes, Asec Nguyen, the blue code is still high in Region 1,
00:35
in Ilocos Region, in our Cagayan Valley Region 2
00:39
and in our Bicol Region, Region 5.
00:41
What the blue code status means,
00:43
when the DOH is in blue code,
00:45
our operations center monitors 24x7 for 24 hours
00:51
and ensures that the data that enters the field
00:54
can be retained by the so-called incident commander.
00:57
We have an incident command system that manages
01:01
and monitors what is happening.
01:02
For example, in CHD 5,
01:05
we call it the Center for Health Development in Region 5,
01:08
their incident commander says
01:10
what places can they pass through,
01:13
what hospitals can they go to,
01:15
what health centers can they bring
01:17
additional people and medicines if needed.
01:21
At present, how is the deployment of medical teams
01:26
within the DOH?
01:30
Yes, Nina.
01:31
This is just a fresh update.
01:33
As of 11.45 in the morning,
01:35
we monitored that on the road,
01:37
our augmentation staff is in the Gawing Bahagi of Quezon Province.
01:41
We have two groups.
01:45
I'm looking at the numbers right now.
01:47
We have 39 doctors, nurses,
01:51
and other health professionals
01:53
who are waiting to fly at 1.30 p.m.
01:57
the estimated time of departure
01:59
of our C-130.
02:01
They will go to Naga City
02:03
where they will be together
02:05
at Naga City General Hospital.
02:08
And then what I said about being in a convoy,
02:11
thank you very much to the Department of Public Works and Highways
02:13
for lending the buses
02:15
and the DOH ambulances
02:17
to them.
02:19
That is by land travel to Quezon.
02:22
They will go to Cabo Sao, Camarines Sur
02:24
to join the relief operation
02:26
in Bicol Region
02:28
General Hospital and Geriatric Medical Center.
02:32
Asek, on the ground,
02:33
what is the assistance of the DOH
02:35
in evacuation areas?
02:37
Are there standby doctors?
02:39
Are there any other health care providers
02:41
in all evacuation centers?
02:44
Asek, your question is correct.
02:46
Actually, it just started
02:48
the day before
02:50
our typhoon, Christine.
02:52
We already have health emergency response teams
02:54
stationed
02:56
in affected areas.
02:58
In fact, what is heart-breaking
03:00
and saddening is that
03:02
our health workers are affected
03:04
in Bicol, Batangas
03:06
and other places in our country
03:08
that are flooded.
03:10
But they did not abandon post.
03:12
Even their own families are affected.
03:14
The houses are flooded.
03:16
They swore their duty
03:19
and went there.
03:21
As Secretary Herbosa said
03:23
upon the instructions of President Marcos Jr.,
03:25
they cannot stay there for 24-48 hours.
03:27
They need to rest
03:29
and recover.
03:31
That is why our augmentation teams
03:33
have a total of 91.
03:35
As I said earlier, 39 is for Nagalang.
03:37
The balance of 52
03:39
is for Camarines Sur.
03:41
Those will serve as relievers
03:43
in areas that are really hard-hit.
03:45
Secretary Herbosa,
03:47
can our countrymen
03:49
rely on sufficient medical supplies
03:51
that are needed
03:53
for those affected by the typhoon, Christine?
03:55
Aside from that,
03:57
we can see
03:59
and hear
04:01
that they are asking for medicines.
04:03
They are asking for simple medicines
04:05
in Ubo, Cipon, Lagnat
04:07
and other first-aid kits
04:09
especially in isolated areas
04:11
where they will run out
04:14
of medicines.
04:16
Yes, Nina.
04:18
We are asking for
04:20
so-called hygiene kits.
04:22
It is important to remember
04:24
and hear
04:26
that we should not give
04:28
medicines.
04:30
It is important to have doctors
04:32
and health workers
04:34
who will go to evacuation centers.
04:36
Why?
04:38
For example, we have a misconception
04:40
that antibiotics
04:42
can fight leptospirosis.
04:44
That is wrong.
04:46
We need to consult a doctor
04:48
because antibiotics
04:50
can cause antibiotic resistance
04:52
if the medicine is not taken
04:54
according to the prescription.
04:56
It is a bigger problem
04:58
if the microbes can fight
05:00
our medicines.
05:02
It is important to remember
05:04
that medicines are not given
05:06
except for the help of the Department of Health
05:08
and our fellow doctors and nurses
05:11
who will help us.
05:13
That is what is important.
05:15
What can we say
05:17
to those who are asking
05:19
for medicines in Ubo and Cipon?
05:21
For example, Paracetamol.
05:23
Do they need a prescription?
05:25
How can we get it to them?
05:27
I heard
05:29
from the people
05:31
who interviewed
05:33
in the houses that were flooded
05:35
that they cannot leave
05:37
immediately
05:39
because they have to wait
05:41
for a long time.
05:43
What can we tell them
05:45
so that they can get
05:47
the help they need
05:49
for the DOH?
05:51
What can we say
05:53
to those who are asking
05:55
for medicines
05:57
in Ubo and Cipon?
05:59
During this time,
06:01
we should remember
06:03
that there are many
06:05
people who can be infected
06:08
especially those who are
06:10
young or old.
06:12
That is what we need to remember.
06:14
We understand
06:16
that the situation is not the same
06:18
and there are places
06:20
where our medical teams
06:22
have not arrived yet.
06:24
That is why we have
06:26
91 unrouted patients.
06:28
We have a C130
06:30
in Quezon
06:32
that is our medical convoy.
06:34
Now, there are other
06:36
places where we can
06:38
provide home remedies.
06:40
For example,
06:42
our elderly
06:44
who are at home
06:46
should not be in the water
06:48
because they have already been rescued.
06:50
They can go home
06:52
and we can try to provide
06:54
first aid while waiting
06:56
for them to go to the evacuation
06:58
center or arrive.
07:00
The problem is
07:02
when we give our medicines
07:05
over-the-counter,
07:07
we get stock-outs
07:09
because there may be people
07:11
who don't need it yet
07:13
and those who need it
07:15
cannot get it from the evacuation center.
07:17
Don't worry,
07:19
we get the available stocks
07:21
from other places
07:23
that are not affected
07:25
and we will send it to those places
07:27
that really need it.
07:29
To take those medicines,
07:31
we need clean water.
07:33
What is the best solution
07:35
and what are the possible
07:37
diseases that can be cured
07:39
from polluted water?
07:41
Yes, Asek Weng,
07:43
that's right.
07:45
Thank you very much
07:47
to our partner agency, DSWD
07:49
that we both provide
07:51
water filtration devices
07:53
and DOH also provides
07:55
chlorine tablets.
07:57
Now, it doesn't need to be
07:59
that complicated
08:02
Our solution is clear
08:04
and clean water
08:06
but we have a doubt
08:08
if there are microbes or not.
08:10
What we do is boil the water
08:12
for 2 minutes
08:14
at the beginning of boiling
08:16
to make sure that the microbes
08:18
that may be affected
08:20
by the so-called waterborne diseases
08:22
like diarrhea,
08:24
and other diseases
08:26
are killed.
08:28
To avoid that,
08:30
Asek, in one sentence,
08:32
DOH is worried about the possibility
08:34
of increasing the cases of lethospirosis
08:36
especially in polluted areas.
08:38
What is our expected rate here
08:40
and what are the symptoms
08:42
and what can they do
08:44
if they feel it?
08:46
Yes, Asek Weng,
08:48
in epidemiology,
08:50
we are waiting
08:52
and we are expecting
08:54
that it will increase
08:56
but we can also stop it
08:59
because we have a platform
09:01
for our countrymen.
09:03
Lethospirosis,
09:05
if it is consulted
09:07
by a doctor or a health center,
09:09
before the symptoms appear,
09:11
may be given
09:13
on Monday.
09:15
For example,
09:17
if we are exposed to water
09:19
for any reason,
09:21
even if we pass through the street,
09:23
even if we don't feel anything,
09:25
we should be consulted
09:27
on Monday.
09:29
Let's not wait for two weeks
09:31
and we see that our eyes turn yellow,
09:33
the color of our teeth changes
09:35
or we lost teeth,
09:37
our body aches,
09:39
our calf muscles,
09:41
those are the symptoms of lethospirosis.
09:43
If it appears,
09:45
it is already advanced.
09:47
It is better to consult early
09:49
so that if we need to be given medicine,
09:51
we can be given a prescription.
09:53
Again, it is not given,
09:56
but it is better to consult early
09:58
so that we can be given medicine.
10:00
So, everyone who is exposed to water
10:02
should consult a doctor
10:04
because what you are saying is very crucial
10:06
and our countrymen should know about it.
10:08
The symptoms of lethospirosis
10:10
can be felt after two weeks or more.
10:12
Others,
10:14
after one month,
10:16
it just appears
10:18
and by then, it is too late.
10:20
Yes, Nina, I am right.
10:22
We have an average of two weeks
10:24
but others have it for four weeks
10:26
or even a month
10:28
before it appears.
10:30
When that happens,
10:32
it becomes a dialysis
10:34
or intensive care unit.
10:36
When that happens to us,
10:38
that is what we are saying
10:40
that after two weeks,
10:42
the number of patients in the hospital
10:44
increases.
10:46
So, to avoid that,
10:48
it is better to consult early
10:50
within one to three days
10:53
if necessary.
10:55
Okay, there is a question
10:57
from ABS-CDN News Desk.
10:59
What are the mental health services
11:01
that DOH is allocating
11:03
for those who are affected
11:05
by the typhoon?
11:07
And what is your advice
11:09
to those who are experiencing trauma?
11:11
This is still related to the calamity.
11:13
I have heard of a father
11:15
who lost his wife
11:17
and five children
11:19
because of an earthquake.
11:21
That is just one of the stories
11:23
that we are hearing
11:25
that we need
11:27
mental health services.
11:31
That is right, Nina.
11:33
In times of disaster response,
11:35
we have
11:37
Mental Health and Psychosocial Services
11:39
or MHPSS.
11:41
In simple words,
11:43
it is not only the body
11:45
that we are taking care of
11:47
but also the mind and feelings.
11:50
It is very heavy
11:52
when we experience
11:54
an evacuation,
11:56
when we leave our homes,
11:58
or when we lose a loved one
12:00
because of an earthquake.
12:04
Now, our health workers
12:06
have basic training.
12:08
There are so-called brief interventions.
12:10
The so-called greetings
12:12
even if it is just a simple greeting
12:14
at the evacuation center
12:16
is a big deal.
12:18
We need to talk to
12:20
the people
12:22
who are affected
12:24
by this disaster
12:26
because we know
12:28
that they are our health workers
12:30
and we have a genuine connection.
12:32
We respect their situation
12:34
and we let them process
12:36
their feelings.
12:38
In times like this,
12:40
it is okay to be sad.
12:42
It is not a weakness
12:44
and it is not a bad thing.
12:47
It is very important
12:49
to have a conversation
12:51
with a health worker
12:53
who is trained
12:55
in mental health services
12:57
along with the first aid
12:59
and evacuation centers.
13:01
Thank you very much
13:03
Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo
13:05
the spokesperson
13:07
of the Department of Health.
13:09
Thank you sir.
