THE limited services being offered by the Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center (OMMC) and the Gat Andres Bonifacio Medical Center (GABMMC) in Manila were not caused by any particular disease or incident.

This was the assurance issued by the Department of Health (DOH) yesterday amid concerns over the limited services the two hospitals were offering.

“The DOH is coordinating with the City of Manila and the management of the OMMC and GABMMC to ensure that patient treatment and discharge is optimized within the two facilities,” DOH spokesman Albert Domingo said in a brief statement.

“The two hospitals have not reported any specific disease or incident that may be causing their full capacity,” he added.

Yesterday, the Manila City government announced that the OMMC and the GABMMC have full capacity in their emergency room and wards.

While it continues to be operational, the two hospitals said they would not accommodate incoming patients.

The City of Manila encouraged the public to consider going to other public hospitals in the city.

Domingo said other public hospitals are ready and able to accommodate patients.

“DOH hospitals nearby, such as the San Lazaro Hospital, Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center, and other government facilities like the Philippine General Hospital, are available to receive patients,” said Domingo.
