WORK on Phase 1 of the city hospital is 60% complete as of the second week of August, according to Project Engineer Elmo Calunsag of REM Construction. Slabs and extended columns are now being installed at the second floor while the basement flooring is finished.
Phase 1 which began last Apr. 13 with a budget of P43 million covers structural works and roofing. Occupying a floor area of 4,610 sq.m., the three-storey hospital is conceptualized to accept patients referred to by the six district health centers. It will initially cater to maternal and child care with appendectomy.
Even as City Health Officer I Dr. Lourdes Lampong prepares the proposed rates, Mayor Eric C. Codilla is coming up with a health card system which indigents can use to avail of free services. City Social Welfare and Development Officer Marietta Legaspi is preparing a list of indigents as the cards will color-coded based on a family’s income to determine the extent of free services to be extended.
