Nationwide network of SARS centers to be set up.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Armand Nocum
THE GOVERNMENT plans to build a nationwide network of SARS response centers with the capability of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, so far the only medical facility designated to handle cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in the country.
RITM director Remigio Olveda yesterday told the Inquirer that regional SARS response centers would be set up in the cities of Baguio, Cebu and Davao to help the health care system in the countryside cope with any SARS outbreak.
Olveda said SARS response centers at the provincial and district levels would form the frontline in the country's battle against the flu-like virus, which has killed two people in the Philippines.
He said the nationwide network would be completed this month after the RITM finishes the training of medical personnel who would man the SARS centers.
The Department of Health has set aside P100 million for the project that will equip the three regional centers with at least one or two negative pressure rooms.
