Governor Pamela Baricuatro has approved the renovation of Oslob District Hospital, following the recommendation of Capitol Public Health Consultant Dr. Nikki Catalan. The Cebu Provincial Government announced that P15.442 million has been allocated for the renovation and modernization of the facility's equipment.
Scope of Renovation
The renovation includes improvements to the emergency room, replacement of ceilings, repainting of the building, and construction of an ambulance and maintenance building. These upgrades aim to enhance the quality of healthcare services provided to patients in the area.
Dr. Nikki Catalan emphasized the importance of upgrading provincial hospital facilities. “Better facilities mean better care, greater dignity, and a safer healing environment for every Cebuano,” Catalan said on Thursday, May 14, 2026.
Provincial Hospital Assessment
The Cebu Province manages 16 district hospitals. In the early months of Governor Baricuatro's term, a comprehensive assessment of all hospitals was conducted to identify needs and necessary repairs. Among the first issues noted by Baricuatro were broken tiles, damaged ceilings, and other structural concerns.
The provincial government expects to gradually renovate the remaining hospitals in the coming months, ensuring that all facilities meet modern standards for patient care and safety.
