Podcast
Written By PSHPM

BACKGROUND

While the number of complicated cases of severe pneumonia and COVID-19 remain and require vast health resources, we recognize that there are other conditions that also require attention and care especially those with chronic illnesses, bedridden patients and those with terminal conditions at home in communities on Enhanced Community Quarantine. These are provisional recommendations that aim to enable health professionals and workers make decisions and provide continuing care for these conditions. This provisional guidance document is developed by the Philippine Society of Public Health Physicians (PSPHP) in collaboration with the Philippine Society of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (PSHPM) in consultation with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Council of the Philippines (Hospice Philippines) and the Philippine Academy of Family Physicians (PAFP).
