Sipalay hospital to limit acceptance of patients
By Teresa D. Ellera
DAMAGED by Typhoon Odette, the Teresita Lopez Jalandoni Provincial Hospital (TLJPH) in Silay City announced over the weekend that it will temporarily limit the acceptance of patients.
In an advisory, Dr. Mary Ann Maestral, chief of hospital for TLJPH, said the hospital’s outpatient department will be closed until further notice.
She said the triage area was destroyed, limiting their capacity to accept new patients.
With this, Maestral reiterated that they will temporarily limit the acceptance of patients to emergency cases only, while repairs are being conducted.
The hospital will also only accept “stat” request for radiologic examinations until the Central Negros Electric Cooperative (Ceneco) restores and stabilizes the power supply.
The hospital’s coronavirus disease (Covid-19) vaccination will also resume on Monday, December 20, in time for the start of the second round of the National Vaccination Days.
