In March, more than 300 foreigners were taken to the hospital from the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) detention facility. According to the PAOCC, the reason for their illness was the overcrowding of detainees housed in the facility.
PAOCC said that their detention center is overcrowded, making it difficult to maintain the health of detainees. As a result, several foreigners had to be taken to the hospital due to their health conditions.
The detention center appears to be unprepared for the number of foreigners it is holding. According to the PAOCC, the overcrowded conditions have caused the rapid spread of diseases in the facility. This includes stomach ailments and other infections that may be caused by poor hygiene.
In light of this incident, the PAOCC has taken steps to improve the conditions of detainees and ensure that such a situation does not happen again. They plan to add medical facilities and provide proper space for detainees.
Authorities continue to focus on the health of detainees to prevent the situation from worsening and ensure that incidents like this do not happen again.
