More than 160 health professional organizations submit their proposed plan to combat the COVID-19 pandemic to the National Taskforce against COVID-19 (NTF) and the Department of Health (DOH) as the two-week timeout comes to an end today, 18 August 2020.

As a response to the plea of our medical frontliners, President Rodrigo Duterte called for a two-week Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) in Metro Manila from Aug. 4 to Aug. 18 and also invited the doctors for a series of meetings with the National Taskforce against COVID-19 (NTF) and other relevant government agencies.

The proposed plan was a result of the series of meetings between the HCWs, private sector, and government bodies to address 7 major issues related to the pandemic: workforce overload; inefficient contact tracing and quarantine; inefficient case finding and isolation; workplace outbreaks; inadequate and unsafe transport options; poor public compliance to safety protocols; and worsening inequalities.

The unified plan developed by HPAAC with business and government leaders focuses on the following:
● Expansion of the One Hospital Command to the One COVID Referral Network
● Enforcement of the policy on workplace safety
● Strengthening the role of science in the decision-making process of government entities through the Health Technology Assessment Council (HTAC)
● Development and dissemination of unified guidelines on COVID response that can be implemented down to the local level
● Safe, sufficient, and sustainable transport options especially for the poor
● Internet connectivity for all especially those living in disadvantaged areas
● Equitable access to social amelioration programs
● Development of key messages to inspire behavior change
