As part of the Provincial Government of La Union's (PGLU) continuous effort in providing stringent and strategic measures against CoViD-19 Delta Variant, PGLU strengthens the level of partnership with the Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center (ITRMC) to establish the Advance Medical Post (AMP).
The AMP is one of ITRMC's solutions to cater the needs of patients, especially in these crucial times. According to Dr. Marvin Munar, Incident Commander of ITRMC, the AMP will serve as a pre-hospital layer within the hospital's vicinity to guarantee a safer Emergency Room during surges, averting possible infection transmission while providing urgent and emergent care with various and complex cases. In addition, AMP will also serve as a waiting area for patients needing tertiary care services pending confirmatory tests for CoViD-19.
In line with this development, the PGLU, through the Provincial Risk and Reduction Management Office (PDRRMO), has set up four single container vans in front of ITRMC. In addition, assistant PDRRMO Alvin Cruz visited the site to inspect augmentation for facility enhancing in ITRMC-PGLU AMP.
Gov. Pacoy Ortega is in full support to the province's La Union Health Care Provider Network (HCPN) partnered by the Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Ed Posadas, and ITRMC Medical Center Chief, Dr. Eduardo Badua III.
On notable progress, ITRMC, as the apex hospital of the established La Union HCPN, has managed over 5,000 CoViD-19 patients from January โ July 2021.
The PGLU's assistance with the facility enhancement and workforce augmentation in building the AMP, complement the ongoing internal capacity enhancement in ITRMC, as we rally with time with the impending threat of the unseen enemy.
The partnerships that the PGLU had with the hospitals in the province is one of the manifestations that we are together for a #StrongerLaUnion, a province worth living in.
