Richest Barrio in Leyte Has Its Own Hospital

Ormoc City, Leyte - The richest barangay here is building its own mini-hospital. Tongonan will soon have a two-storey patient and health receiving center which will have a seven-bed capacity ward, two private rooms, laboratory and x-ray room. It will also offer minor operation services.

The P6.2 million facility is funded by income from the Energy Development Corp.’s (EDC) real property taxes (RPT) for 2010-11 worth P27 million.

EDC pays an average of P9 million annually on RPT to Tongonan. First phase of the project costs P1.7 million and the second phase P2.5 million. Another P2 million will be allocated for facilities and equipment.

Even without the mini-hospital, Tongonan already spends P1.3 million annually for medicines and P800,000 for supplies of its barangay health center.

With the hospital’s operation next year, the budget for health will increase to P3 million for medicines and P1.5 million for supplies.

The mini-hospital will provide free health services to Tongonan’s 418 households consisting of 2,183 inhabitants.

It will also accept patients from other barangays but will provide free services only to members of Philippine Health Insurance Corp. to sustain its operation.

With their own mini-hospital, Barangay Captain Periander Bañez said his constituents won’t have to go on a 25-minute ride to go to a medical facility at the city proper.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
