CALAMBA CITY - Residents of Rizal province will soon have access to improved healthcare services from the government when construction of the Northern Tagalog Regional Hospital in Rodriguez town finishes.
Last April 12, Department of Health Region IV-A (DOH 4-A) Director Eduardo Janairo and Second District Rep. Juan Fidel Nograles led the site inspections of the first DOH hospital in the province, located in Barangay San Jose ahead of its groundbreaking ceremony on April 23.
The proposed level 2, two-storey facility to be built on a one-hectare lot purchased by the Municipal government will have a 200-bed capacity--including an operational emergency room and out-patient department-- and will initially operate this year to augment the health services needed in the province.
“It will also include a dietary, morgue, motorpool, laboratory, x-ray, central supply storage, operating room, delivery room, wards and intensive care units once the hospital is completely refurbished. Two floors of basements will be constructed, one for parking and one will serve as staff quarters,” Janairo added.
The regional health office said the P839,637,000 project that was initiated by Nograles will be funded by the government through the Health Facility Enhancement Program in order to meet the health care needs of the community, especially during the pandemic.
Once construction finishes, improved health services will be enjoyed by residents in Montalban, as well as nearby towns and cities such as San Mateo, Quezon City and San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan province. (PB/DOH 4-A)
