The Philippine Medical Association said it will send 100 doctors and other medical staff to the Typhoon Pablo devastated areas in Mindanao to help the injured victims. As of the moment, only 2 doctors and 5 nurses are trying their best to treat the hundreds of battered and bruised survivors. These doctors and nurses are simply overwhelmed by the sheer number of people needing immediate medical help. Most of the victims are now suffering from infected wounds and decaying injuries because of the lack of medicine, dressings and proper medical intervention.
The Philippine Medical Association should immediately airlift the much needed medical personnel and supplies to the storm ravaged regions. The survivors have been through enough tragedy, punishment and suffering; the last thing that they deserve after making it literally "through hell and back" is to die from festering wounds. The 2 doctors and 5 nurses must be commended for trying their best to save the lives of hundreds of people, they have been working around the clock for many days now. They also need rest and reinforcement to effectively assist the victims of that powerful typhoon.
Pres. Aquino should mobilize the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and send hundreds of military personnel, including medical workers, tons of medical supplies and heavy equipment to hasten the rescue, retrieval and rehabilitation efforts. It is not enough to just visit the damaged areas, give Php10,000 to each victim who lost a loved one and then have himself photographed alongside the victims so that he can use that photo in the next Election campaign.
Thousands of Filipinos are in dire straits in Mindanao. The Government and our Political Leaders should set aside the May 2013 Elections for the time being and concentrate on helping these poor people. Time is of the essence, it could mean the life or death of hundreds of people. Victims desperately need food, water, medicine, clothing and shelter. The Government must do more and act now before it's too late....
