CALL FOR DONATIONS for PHILIPPINE GENERAL HOSPITAL (PGH)

CALL FOR DONATIONS for PHILIPPINE GENERAL HOSPITAL (PGH)

The rapid spread of Covid-19 in the Philippines has been alarming. Everybody is doing whatever has to be done to contain the virus.

But the frontliners in this epic battle are the selfless and courageous healthcare workers (HWC) who at their own personal risk—are working round the clock to save lives and prevent more contagion. As the contagion gets worse every day it has become painfully clear that there is an urgent need to augment the gaping lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for our healthcare heroes.

Dr. Nina Berba, Infectious Disease expert puts a conservative estimate of up to more than P6.5M a month for a big hospital like PGH. The Public Health system is inadequate to face this challenge on its own.

Thus the UP Medical Foundation and The Outstanding Women in the Nation’s Service (TOWNS) have joined to launch a Fund Drive for PPEs—masks, gloves, hazmat suit, scrub booties, protective gear for the safety of our healthcare workers.

We are appealing to the best of the Filipino to contribute generously as we all unite to combat this national threat.
