Nasa full capacity na ang National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI) para sa coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients at nililimitahan na ang pagtanggap ng pasyente sa emergency room nito.

“Right now, we are in full capacity of our COVID-19 in hospital beds and five tents, with more than 50 patients at the ER. We have to limit our admission at the ER to emergency/urgent/renal cases only. Other cases may have to be transferred to other hospitals,” ang bahagi ng abiso ng NKTI.

Sinabi rin ng NKTI na binuksan na nila ang gym para sa mga leptospirosis patients, habang ang iba pang pasilidad ay binuksan din para sa mga pasyenteng kumpirmadong may COVID-19.

“Starting tomorrow, Monday, August 9, we shall further decrease our Internal Medicine and Nephrology outpatient consults. We need to reassign our medical and nursing staff to where they are most needed.Our surgeries are confined only to those which have been previously scheduled in the next two weeks and for patients who are already in the hospital, so as not to compromise our patients,” pagdidiin pa ng NKTI.
