7 of 141 NCR hospitals under ‘critical’ level — DOH

MANILA, Philippines — Seven out of 141 hospitals in Metro Manila were tagged under the “critical” level in terms of bed capacity solely for COVID-19 patients, data from the Department of Health (DOH) as of Dec. 9 showed.

This figure decreased from 11 hospitals recorded as “critical” last Dec. 2, consisting of 138 hospitals.

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

• Mary Chiles General Hospital Inc.
• Ospital ng Muntinlupa
• Philippine Children’s Medical Center

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 identified as “high risk” if 70 percent but not more than 85 percent of its COVID-19 beds are occupied.

Should hospitals have a 60 percent but not more than 70 percent rate for COVID-19 bed occupancy, they are classified under the “moderate” level.

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

The bed occupancy rate for the whole of Metro Manila remains at the “safe” zone with 37 percent, or 2,531 out of the 6,840 total beds being occupied.

INQUIRER.net analyzed the most available data, which is on Dec. 9, 2020, based on the DOH’s COVID-19 tracker.
