To all our Valued Clients and the General Public:

The Management of Iloilo Doctors’ Hospital, Inc., would like to inform the public that WV# 11 as officially published in Western Visayas DOH COVID-19 Bulletin dated March 27, 2020 was indeed admitted in our hospital last March 20, 2020. He was immediately classified as Person Under Investigation (PUI) because he has pneumonia and history of travel to Manila. All possible infection prevention and control measures were observed in the course of his hospital admission. It is unfortunate that our patient succumbed to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome last March 21, 2020.

Our deepest sympathy goes to the family and loved ones of outpatient.

The management salutes all our health care personnel who selflessly attended to our patient despite the perceived and true risks associated with this novel virus COVID-19.

Our gratitude to the Attending Physicians, ICC nurse of IDH, Medical Residents, Nurses, Nursing Aids, X-ray technicians, laboratory personnel, transport technicians, security personnel, janitorial services personnel and all others involved in patient care, for showing utmost professionalism, compassion and strength of character despite the odds like limited PPE, uncertain diagnosis at that time. You are so brave in overcoming your own personal bias and fear to continue serving the patients to the highest standards of care for which IDH is known and continue to deliver even in times of pandemic.

The Infection Control measures applied to the hospital is in accordance with accepted standards to ensure the safety of all patients, family of patients and personnel working at Iloilo Doctors’ Hospital, Inc.
