THE Mimaropa regional office of the Department of Health and the local government of Romblon province led the inauguration and blessing of the Romblon District Hospital in Romblon, Romblon.
The district hospital was upgraded and modernized under the DoH-Health Facilities and Enhancement Program. A total amount of P38,567,224.80 was allocated in 2015 for the construction of a new three-story building.
Regional Director Eduardo C. Janairo said another P40 million will be allotted this year for the purchase of hospital equipment and other needs of the health facility.
“We need to complete the resources in order to effectively deliver health care in the community,” he said. “This hospital will provide first class healthcare services to the people of Romblon, Tablas, Corcuera, Sibuyan Island and Banton. It will cater to the growing population of the province and can accommodate more patients needing immediate health services.”
