It will be the 3rd brand new hospital in the Province in the next four years. The latest will be the P10.7 million satellite hospital in barangay Talay, slated to break ground this week, funded by the Department of Health and to be equipped and staffed by the City Government.
The first two hospitals nearing completion are: the 250-bed ACE Dumaguete Doctors Hospital in barangay Daro, and the Negros Polymedic Hospital in nearby Sibulan to accommodate additional 150 beds.
Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo and City Health Officer Maria Sarah Talla will lead the ground breaking ceremony with local government officials and officers of the Department of Health to signal the start of the construction of the satellite hospital at the City Farmstead.
The new health facility will cater to the medical needs of the underserved barangays like Talay, Junob, Balugo, Candau-ay, Cantil-e, and Bajumpandan, as well as the residents of the towns of Valencia and Bacong. (PIO)
