Lapu-Lapu Hospital faces shortage of beds, oxygen tanks
Cebu City's Lapu-Lapu City Hospital is struggling with a shortage of beds and oxygen tanks for patients due to an increase in coronavirus cases.
The hospital currently has only 14 beds dedicated to COVID-19 patients and is setting up tents outside the facility to accommodate more patients.
Due to the lack of available beds in Cebu City, new cases are being transferred to Lapu-Lapu's hospitals, leading to a rapid depletion of oxygen tanks.
Local officials and hospital administrators plan to meet on Thursday to discuss expanding COVID-19 bed capacity.
