Medical community lists down measures to help govt improve its response against COVID-19

An organization of over 100 medical workers and advocates gave government a list of suggestions on how to improve coronavirus disease (COVID-19) response.

In a statement, the Solidarity of Health Advocates and Personnel for a Unified Plan to Defeat COVID-19 urged the government to “seriously and immediately take decisive actions to address the dire situation holistically.”

The group also lamented the “militarist handling instead of medical approach” to the pandemic: “[It] wreaks fear among the people and proliferate human rights violations — while doing little to curb the number of cases.” The group also suggested to give free mass testing using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction tests targeting vulnerable persons in high risk areas; to provide free face masks and face shields; and sustain social amelioration program for displaced workers and vulnerable populations.
