The Makati Medical Center (MMC) had an accomplishment that has lifted the spirits of its personnel as it reported on Monday that it had sent home 29 patients who had recovered from the highly infectious COVID-19.
MMC medical director and interim co-CEO Saturnino Javier said the discharged patients were "all clinically improved, with several obtaining at least one negative COVID-19 result."
According to MMC, the treatment used by the hospital included a broad spectrum of antibiotics for a typical pneumonia.
Another piece of good news, Javier said, was that none of their medical and nursing personnel in the emergency room had tested positive for the virus.
Javier also mentioned Sen. Koko Pimentel, who exposed to public after he went to the hospital to accompany his pregnant wife, despite being COVID-19 positive, saying his actions "galvanized even more public support for health care professionals in the Philippines.”
