SEN. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go on Thursday repeated his demand for an explanation from hospitals that refuse to admit patients with the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). At the same time, Go asked the Department of Health (DoH) to act on the cases and release the results of its investigation on earlier complaints. What are the steps taken to hold hospitals accountable for refusing to provide first aid to patients?” he said. At least three Filipino patients also died after reportedly being refused treatment by various hospitals. Go urged hospitals to provide the right kind of medical service that the patients deserve.
