The Department of Health (DOH) on Sunday reported two fireworks-related injuries (FWRIs) as it started its yearly nationwide surveillance.

The reported cases of FWRIs involved a 23-year-old man from the National Capital Region and a four-year-old girl from Cagayan Valley region. They were brought to the Philippine General Hospital and Southern Isabela Medical Center, respectively, for treatment.

The health department said that the current figure of FWRIs was 67 percent lower compared to the figures reported in the same period last year, wherein six cases were recorded. “Ang aking direktiba sa atin pong mga ospital sa buong Pilipinas….

“Anytime [they are] on call… So kailangan tumugon sila sa lalong madaling panahon at tumulong [they need to respond as soon as possible] to compliment the response to the emergency cases if and when there is an unusually high number of cases, then we mobilize all of the employees of the health workforce of the hospital,” he said.
