THREAD: Philippine General Hospital spokesperson Dr. Jonas Del Rosario says that they are looking for medical graduates, general practitioners, and specialists (internists) to augment the manpower in their COVID-19 wards. | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo PGH says only 5 out of the 25 DOH volunteer doctors remain in the hospital.
Some of the volunteer doctors decided not to renew their contracts in the past few months due to different reasons | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo PGH: The director made an accounting on the volunteers that we had and lima na nga lang ang naiwan over the course of the year. Pero hindi naman sila sabay-sabay umalis. They have the prerogative to renew their contracts | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo PGH: Iba-iba ang kanilang non-renewal dates. Sabi yung iba raw they would like to pursue residency programs. A lot of them are general doctors and they want to apply for residency or specialization | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo PGH: Because of that we tapped more of our residents and consultants from different departments to help in the COVID-19 operations. All hands on deck, malaki or maliit na department they have to send residents | @TristanNodalo
