The Department of Health (DOH) has sought help from the World Health Organization (WHO) in supplying tent hospitals and mobile medical centers as a number of hospitals in areas affected by super typhoon Yolanda (international codename: Haiyan) are presently waterlogged.

Assistant Health Eric Tayag, in radio reports said that hospitals in Leyte were unable to provide urgent needed treatment services due to the strong winds and high-rise floods that have damaged hospitals some partially, others completely.
