JRRMMC extends closure of emergency room ops to August 31

Emergency room operations of the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center (JRRMMC) remain closed until August 31 as the management makes the facility safer to patients in light of the COVID-19 threat.

“Bilang pagsunod sa pinaigting na health standard ng pamahalaan, humihingi kami ng pang-unawa sa publiko sa patuloy na pagsasara ng Emergency Service Complex ng JRRMC hanggang Agosto 31,” it said in an advisory.

“Ito ay para bigyang daan ang patuloy na pagkukumpuni ng pasilidad ng Emergency Service Complex upang ito ay maging mas ligtas at mas kapaki-pakinabang.”

From August 19 to 26, the health facility said its emergency room operations were limited to give way to the disinfection of the emergency service complex amid the rising cases of COVID-19.
