The newly-renovated Ricardo Rodriguez Memorial Hospital in Bacolor, Pampanga, is set to open this May, providing upgraded healthcare services to local residents. The provincial government announced that the facility has been transformed into a three-story Level 1 hospital with a 75-bed capacity.
Modern Medical Equipment and Services
The hospital now features advanced diagnostic tools, including X-ray, 2D echocardiogram, and ultrasound machines. These upgrades will allow the facility to offer essential medical services locally.
Governor Highlights Benefits
Governor Lilia Pineda stated that the reopening will significantly reduce the need for residents to travel to the City of San Fernando for treatment. She shared this update during a recent medical mission in the town.
Infrastructure and Community Support
The provincial capitol also allocated PHP 15 million for road improvements in front of the municipal hall to improve access to public services. During the same outreach activity, approximately 1,100 residents received free medical consultations, maintenance medicines, food packs, underwear, and hygiene kits.
