MANDALUYONG CITY MEDICAL CENTER
PROJECTS / ACTIVITIES PLAN - NEEDS
For the MEDICAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
The Medical ICU has been a specialized support unit to the over-all function of the hospital. Since its opening, the unit has catered to the most critical of all patients needing life-saving measures, roughly a quarter of these patients are of neurologic, another quarter are cardiac, a similar quarter to about a third are pulmonary in nature, and the remaining were of kidney, infectious , hematologic and trauma in nature. Multi-disciplinary sort of care is the run-of-the-mill management in ICU patients, and almost always, availability of the patients’ urgent needs is a pressing concern:
To address these constant expectations, we need the following:
ü Maintaining a Fully functional physical set-up, including ventilation and safety issues. Currently, the ICU unit needs urgent repair, in particular the safety of its flooring, and the maintenance of its air-conditioning system.
ü Equipments need a scheduled periodic maintenance.
