The slow moving construction and renovation of Don Ciriaco S. Tirol Hospital situated in the
heart of the island once again created a strong concern to some of the local
legislator.
The issue emerged again during Malay Sangguniang Bayan
session on Tuesday.
According to SB Member Rowen Aguirre, indigent families
in the island are now affected due to insufficient space to be provided in case
they seek for health service.
He also pointed out that this will affect the preparation
of the island in hosting the upcoming Asia Pacific Economic Conference or APEC
to be held on May of next year.
As committee chairman of the Laws and Ordinances, Aguirre
discussed his sponsored resolution to fast-track the construction of the said
hospital. The resolution will be
forwarded to Department of Health as the supervising department of the
renovation project.
There have been instances of patients referred to the
nearby Municipal Health Unit but most often cannot be entertained due to lack of
health equipment.
For now the Sangguniang Bayan of Malay is hurrying to
pass the resolution which will be deliberated for the second and final reading.
