— Six hospitals were ordered to explain why they denied emergency care to patients amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Health Secretary Francisco Duque said on Wednesday.
"Ang DOH kaagaran naman pinaimbestiga itong mga ospital at nagpadala ng show cause order para ipaliwanag ng anim na ospital," Duque told the Senate in a hearing held online. He said that three of the hospitals have responded, while the rest may face criminal or administrative charges from the health facilities oversight board if they do not reply.
[Translation: The oversight board will convene tomorrow to discuss if it will file criminal or administrative charges against these hospitals.]
