Top 10 Foggers and Disinfectants for Hospitals Receiving Leptospirosis Patients During Floods: Lessons from Philippine Kidney Institute Hits Full Capacity, Limits ER Walk-Ins Amid Post-Flood Leptospirosis Surge, 2026
Asia News Network, citing the Inquirer, reported the National Kidney and Transplant Institute in Quezon City at full capacity and limiting ER walk-ins, with a Code White alert and advice for flood-wading people to see a doctor within 24 to 48 hours. What should Thai hospitals prepare?
The Real Story from the News: Waded Through Floodwater? See a Doctor Fast
The Inquirer reported on 24 August 2026 that the kidney institute was at full capacity and limiting ER walk-ins after the health department raised a Code White alert.
About 10 to 15 percent of leptospirosis patients die, and officials advised anyone who waded through floodwater or handled flood mud to see a doctor within 24 to 48 hours, even without symptoms.
Why Choosing the Right Equipment Matters
Thai hospitals in floods see many fever patients, some with leptospirosis needing medical treatment and possibly dialysis. Screening for flood exposure at triage, preparing beds and medicines and cleaning areas tracked with mud help the system cope; cleaning supports but does not treat.

How to Use Them Effectively
- Ask about flood exposure at triage
- Prepare medicines and beds per ministry guidance
- Wash mud from entrances daily during floods
- Have staff wear boots when cleaning flooded areas
- Tell the public to see doctors early after wading
Before and After Using the Right Equipment
Before: Flood exposure wasn't asked and patients arrived late in kidney failure.
After: Exposure screening, ready medicines and beds, and public education.
Prefer Not to Do It Yourself? Use a Professional Service
If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does disinfection prevent leptospirosis? A: It is not the main measure. Leptospirosis comes from contaminated water and soil; protect yourself when wading and get medical treatment.
Q: How long before the area can be used? A: After ULV fogging, areas are typically usable about 30 minutes later. For ozone treatment, no people or pets may be inside and the room must be ventilated before use.
Q: Can I get a tax invoice? A: Yes. Tax invoices are issued and 3% withholding tax is supported. Call 065-556-6294 or LINE @whd268.
Health References
Follow disease updates from Thailand's Department of Disease Control (hotline 1422) and the World Health Organization. Disinfection reduces germs in the environment and is not medical treatment; anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
Summary
Manila shows leptospirosis can fill hospitals after floods. Hospitals prepared with screening and resources cope better.
