Jose Fabella Center, Philippines

in #news7 years ago

Disclaimer: an image of one of the wards in JFC where the patients have mental disorders.

In the Philippines, nursing students are exposed to working in many government hospitals, although it is a requirement for nursing schools to have their own hospitals. As general nursing is what it's being taught, students are then exposed to different areas like orthopaedic hospital, mental hospital; Manila in particular have a lot of general hospitals and lying-in centers but only one mental hospital. 

Although I went to a private school in Manila, an exposure to the only mental hospital in the country was included. Some wards were similar to the picture above. Issues here are staffing, no funds and abandonment. Jose Fabella Center almost closed but the DSWD intervened recently.

This is just one of my facebook feeds today, and this post is from one of the social media supporter of President Duterte, Doc. Lorraine Marie T. Badoy. Since becoming as the assistant secretary of the department of social welfare and development (DSWD), she have been updating us Filipinos of real situations around the country. 

A screenshot of Doc. Lorraine's message in her facebook account.

In contrast to the previous administration, the present Secretary Judy Taguiwalo have been very open with the people especially with the usage of DSWD's funds. Taking over Jose Fabella Center, some donations, not just monetary, from the Filipino community are still needed.

The Philippines have a lot of these not shown to the public, even before. But corruption plays a lot with public funds.

Heartbreaking to see their living conditions.

At least now, our DSWD have intervened. but still, they have been abandoned by their families, perhaps if they can see a little improvement soon it will cheer them up.

Omg it's hard to watch this, thank you for sharing this information with us. Helping others is most beautiful things in the world!

I hope it wont be like this soon..President Duterte will try to finish and oust our corrupt politicians once the invasion in Mindanao ceases. Corruptions have led a lot to this.
