DOH leads turnover of QI modular hospital, DPWH vows more facilities

The DOH and DPWH led the turnover of a 110-bed modular hospital extension at Quezon Institute on Tuesday, aimed at increasing dedicated COVID-19 beds in Metro Manila.

DPWH Secretary Mark Villar vowed to build more modular hospitals with an additional 3,000 to 4,000 bed capacity for COVID-19 patients as the country faces a surge in cases.

NTF spokesperson Ret. Maj. Gen. Restituto Padilla announced plans to set up additional modular facilities to accommodate patients who cannot be admitted due to hospital overcapacity.
