DOH places all hospitals under Code White for holidays

Manila Bulletin

December 24, 2025

All hospitals nationwide have been placed under Code White until Jan. 6, 2025, as the Department of Health (DOH) braces for possible increase in medical emergencies during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

- By PATRICK ELY GARCIA

Code White refers to the readiness of hospital manpower like general and orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, internists, operating room nurses, ophthalmologists, and oto-rhinolaryngologists, to respond to any emergency situation at anytime.

The directive was announced by DOH Secretary Ted Herbosa on Monday, Dec. 22, following inspections at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI) and the Philippine Heart Center (PHC).

The two hospitals said they remain ready to accommodate all patients, including cases involving non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and non-renal conditions.
