Catriona Gray nag-alala sa mga HIV patient habang naka-COVID 19 quarantine
CATRIONA GRAY
NAG-AALALA si 2018 Miss Universe Catriona Gray para sa mga “people living with human immunodeficiency virus” o PLHIV.
Iniisip ng Pinay beauty queen kung paano na ang regular na pagpapagamot ng mga kababayan nating may HIV ngayong naka-lockdown ang Metro Manila at iba pang lugar sa bansa dulot ng COVID-19 crisis.
Idinaan ni Catriona sa kanyang Instagram account ang mensahe para sa mga PLHIV, “For our brothers and sisters living with HIV…In this time of uncertainty brought about by the pandemic COVID-19, I can only empathize and try to understand the anxiety and concerns of people living with HIV (PLHIV) regarding their access to their antiretroviral (ARV) drugs now that enhanced community quarantine is being strictly implemented.”
“As with the general population, elder PLHIVs who also have other serious health conditions are at great risk,” aniya pa.
Ibinahagi ni Catriona ang ilang guidelines para sa mga elderly PLHIVs na nangangailangan ng ARVs habang naka-home quarantine.
“Coordinate with your treatment hub for a delivery or pick up of ARVs through a courier service, which the cost of service may also be arranged with the facility.
“Since most treatment hubs are run by the local governments, you may ask if they could deliver the ARVs at an agreed meeting point.
“Ask treatment hub doctors to send you an electronic appointment or SMS that you can show to government authorities manning the checkpoints as proof that you need to pass through quarantine cordon,” paalala pa ni Catriona.
Nagpasalamat din ang beauty queen sa lahat ng doktor, nurse at iba pang Pinoy health workers na nag-aalay ng sariling buhay para labanan ang COVID-19, “Thank you for your dedication, creativity, and for going out of your way to make sure our people living with HIV have access to their medication.”
Nauna nang nagpahatid ng tulong ang Team Catriona through her Young Focus Philippines sa mga pamilyang nakatira sa Smokey Mountain area sa Tondo, Manila na naapektuhan ng coronavirus pandemic.
