“Dahil hindi sila ma-admit sa hospital, sa bahay na natin sila i-treat. Kumbaga kailangan nila ng oxygen, we will provide oxygen. Kailangan nila ng doctor to consult, doctor will be there na magbibigay ng mga kailangan ng isang pasyente," he said.
With P15,000 starting fee, the family of a patient just only needs to dial the number and they will go to their homes.
“Ano ba tong home care na tinatawag? Halimbawa mayroon emergency sa bahay niyo, nahihirapang huminga, or COVID suspected o may iba pang sakit, ang gagawin lang nila tatawagan lang nila yung numero at may sasagot sa kanilang mga experts,” Ocampo said.
According to the Department of Health, 41% of COVID-19 patients in the hospitals have mild symptoms or asymptomatic. They are trying to transfer the patients to other quarantine facilities to provide more rooms to more severe cases.
