Disparities in Healthcare Delivery in Western Visayas during the COVID-19 Pandemic

7/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
The lack of an efficient healthcare delivery system  has  always been  an issue in the Philippines. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare delivery in Western Visayas was discussed in this manuscript. This analysis was submitted as a commissioned paper to  the 42nd Annual Scientific  Meeting of the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST).

A Recommendation for COVID-19 Testing in Low Resource Countries Sample pooling  can save in the number of tests to be performed when resources (for testing) are scarce, and has been used to track pathogen spread early in an epidemic.

COVID-19 Disease Burden Projection vs Hospital Capacity

4/1/2020

0 Comments

 
We used two methods to model the disease burden against healthcare capacity in the region (Panay + Guimaras) as well as in the province (Iloilo). Release from a 30-day quarantine may cause a surge in Covid-19 infections which will quickly overwhelm our healthcare capacity. Additional actions and preparations are recommended  to augment our effective healthcare capacity in terms of hospital beds and available healthcare workers, alongside enhanced testing, contact tracing, monitoring etc.
