MANILA - The Asian Hospital and Medical Center on Thursday announced that its emergency room has reached "full capacity" due to the number of patients being admitted.

"As much as we would like to accommodate all patients, our quality of care may be compromised. Thus, we are advising our patients to seek urgent care in other institutions in the meantime," the Ayala Alabang hospital said in a statement.

It did not mention the illness of its current patients in the emergency room.
