MAGSAYSAY, Davao del Sur– The provincial government has set aside P2.5-million funds for the construction of a mini-hospital in the remote Barangay Bacungan here late this year to provide the basic health needs of the residents.
This was according to Governor Claude Bautista during a consultative meeting with municipal and barangay officials Tuesday afternoon at E&P Kamonsilan Resort in Barangay Barayong.
“I intend to construct this mini-hospital here since this is very strategic for five neighboring barangays to go to,” he said.
The governor said the mini-hospital will provide the basic health services, including the safe delivery for pregnant mothers.
“An ambulance will also be purchased complete with oxygen and equipment like those in hospitals,” Bautista added.
Also during the meeting, Gov. Bautista turned over P17-million worth of checks to Magsaysay Mayor Arthur Davin who represented the local government unit.
Of the amount, the P10 million is the counterpart of the province for the ongoing construction of the P45 million new municipal hall while the remaining P7 million also its counterpart to the P70 million for the farm-to-market road in Balnate-Tagaytay. (pna)
