Modern hospital to rise in Subic.

Byline: RANDY V. DATU

IBA, Zambales -- A world-class hospital will soon rise at Redondo Peninsula in Subic, this province.

This was revealed last Thursday by Zambales Gov. Amor D. Deloso, who, along with top officials of Korean Eximbank, People and Nature, Medipark Corp., and

Hanjin Phils. Shipbuilding Co., recently inked the build-operatetransfer (BOT) $32.6-million medical facility project contract.

The hospital will be built at the site of the former US military target range some five kilometers away from the huge shipyard complex.

"The proposed twin seven story hospital center called Redondo Ko-Phil Hospital project will not only cater to the medical needs of Hanjin workers and other locators from nearby SBMA but to over 700,000 inhabitants of Zambales who are long deprived of modern medical cure and facilities," Deloso said

"That is why the present provincial leadership had decided to donate 40 hectares for this purpose, hoping that our people could taste or experience some kind of modern medical technology and treatment," he added.

Reports gathered here revealed that no hospital in Zambales is in the "quality" category and that the three district hospitals located in San Marcelino, Candelaria, and Sta. Cruz, including the Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Hospital in Iba, are way below standards.

"Saan ka nakakita na manganganak lang mamamatay pa?" Deloso asked.
