THE situation around the pandemic is rapidly changing, but some things remain the same—people with comorbidities are still at the highest risk. This is why they need proper regular medical attention now more than ever.
Noel Rosas, MD from the Section of Cardiology at Makati Medical Center reiterates that the elderly and those with chronic health conditions are more likely to get severe symptoms from Covid-19, increasing their risk of hospitalization and even death. “Since you already have a compromised immune status, it will be more difficult for you to fight this new disease,” he adds.
Given the current challenges, Rosas recognizes and understands the hesitation about going to a health-care facility to get checked. This is why hospital has implemented stringent safety protocols including those who are going to outpatient centers and doctors’ clinics. “We know that the current situation can be a bit discouraging. We understand the fear of going out of your homes.
Apart from implementing stringent hospital safety protocols, MakatiMed has also created other safe ways for those with comorbidities to get the proper medical attention. For those who are immunocompromised, Rosas says that it’s also more practical and safe for people with preexisting conditions to stay at home as much as possible and limit interactions with other people.
