Of the planned 10-storey Cebu City Medical Center, only the first three floors are operational.
CEBU, Philippines – After several delays, the Cebu City government vowed to complete the construction of the Cebu City Medical Center by the end of 2023, starting with fixing its architectural defects.
Previously, the city government announced that it canceled its contract with project developer M.E. Sicat Construction Incorporated because the construction firm failed to meet deadlines and other architectural issues. Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama, describing himself as tired of the delays, said there would be no more public bidding for the construction of the unfinished hospital floors and that the LGU would instead, work with a still unnamed private entity.
According to Rama, the city government’s plan of action would involve retrofitting columns that did not pass the design criteria and strengthening those that need improvements.
