COVID-19
DAPAT ay maging bahagi umano ng new normal ng mga Pilipino ang pagkakaroon ng mga ospital at health centers sa probinsya.
Ayon kay House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano dapat ay malagyan ng angkop na gamit ang mga ospital na ito upang magkaroon ng kakayanan na umasikaso sa mga pasyente na nahawa ng coronavirus disease 2019 at katulad na sakit.
“Anyone who can adapt fast, innovate and manage the situation all around the world will get ahead. Initially, we were thinking of life after Covid but after the health experts found it in their mind, Covid is here to stay whether one year, 18 months o two years before there is a cure o vaccine. I’m still praying that there will be a miracle cure or vaccine,” ani Cayetano.
Paliwanag ni Cayetano kung mas marami ang mga ospital, mas madali na maipagpapatuloy ang paggamot sa ibang pasyente na mayroong kanser, renal disease at mga nangangailangan ng dialysis.
“If Covid 19 is going to stay with us for the next two years we, will need separate Covid hospitals so that the other hospitals can treat people with other ailments – those with cancer, renal disease, those needing dialysis,” saad ng lider ng Kamara. “Many of these other sick people are shying away from hospitals for fear of getting infected by coronavirus.”
Sinabi ni Cayetano na kahit na wala na ang quarantine areas ay mag-iiba na ang normal na pamumuhay.
“We cannot go back to the old normal. For instance, in public schools, if there were 50 students, that number would be reduced to 30 or 25 under the new normal.”
Maaari rin umanong maging bahagi na ng pagiging estudyante ang pagsusuot ng facemask.
“People would have to live with changes in their way of life and in their tradition or culture like avoiding handshake or kissing even on rare occasions that members of a family get together.”
Bukod sa pagpapaganda ng sektor ng kalusugan ay kailangan din umano sa mga probinsya ng maaasahang internet at mga imprastraktura na makalilikha ng trabaho.
