00:00The Department of Health shared in the hearing in the Senate that they made an MPACS National Action Plan

00:07that will control the spread of disease and will keep the mortality rate zero in the country.

00:14Noel Talacay has the details.

00:19There is no lockdown that will be implemented in the country because of the monkeypox or MPACS.

00:25This is what Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo of the Department of Health said in a hearing in the Senate

00:32of the Committee on Health and Demography and Finance Committee.

00:36Domingo explained that MPACS will not be taken by the wind but will be a direct or skin-to-skin contact

00:44to control the spread of the disease that he sees on his skin.

00:48He confirmed that of the 14 cases of MPACS in the country, all of them are at home recuperating.

00:57We will not require hospitalization for MPACS. They will not suffocate from breathing.

01:03They do not need an ICU. They will not need a face shield. They will not require a face mask as long as they are home-isolated.

01:10As of now, an MPACS task force led by DOH Secretary Teodoro Herbosa and various medical experts of the agency

01:20have been formed.

01:24These are the various branches of our MPACS task force in planning, surveillance, clinical and public health,

01:31biologics, finance, logistics, and risk communication and behavioral change.

01:37MPACS National Action Plan has been established to control the transmission and to maintain zero mortality in the country.

01:48The following slides are about the scenarios.

01:52To our audience, do not be nervous.

01:55This is said to be possible and prepared by the Ministry of Health but it is not likely to happen.

02:03PhilHealth is now studying how MPACS can be included in their health package.

02:10Domingo has announced that DOH has already responded to MPACS testing under the Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patient or MAEFIP program.

02:23MPACS testing is now free in our DOH hospitals because it is being answered by MAEFIP, by DOH.

02:31While PhilHealth is now studying how to make a testing package.

02:35DOH has also issued guidelines and policies for prevention and management against MPACS.

02:43This includes what is right to do to the person who is positive for MPACS.

02:49According to the latest data from the Department of Health, there are already 14 cases of MPACS in the country this year.

02:58This means that according to the government, they are able to detect the infected quickly.

03:05That is why they are able to provide medical assistance and prevent the spread of the disease.
