DOH opens leptospirosis fast lanes in 19 hospitals

Manila Bulletin

August 10 2025

To speed up treatment for patients who have contracted leptospirosis, the Department of Health (DOH) has opened fast lanes for the treatment of the dreaded blood infection in 19 DOH hospitals.

- By JEL SANTOS

"Para sa mas mabilis na konsultasyon at gamutan ng mga nalubog sa baha, nagbukas ang Department of Health ng Leptospirosis Fast Lanes sa piling DOH hospitals (For faster consultation and treatment of those who were submerged in floodwaters, the Department of Health has opened Leptospirosis Fast Lanes in selected DOH hospitals)," the agency said.

The move comes as hospitals grapple with weather-related illnesses after days of heavy rain and flooding in Metro Manila. On August 4, the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) said its Emergency Room (ER) was already over capacity due to a surge in patients, including leptospirosis cases.
