“The people of Bacolod deserve to have accessible and affordable healthcare,” Zubiri said.
“Coming out of the pandemic, we want to build up our regional healthcare services. We don’t want a repeat of the overcrowded hospitals, the overworked nurses and doctors, and the patients being turned away from hospital to hospital. So I am very much looking forward to an improved healthcare sector here in Western Visayas, once the BCGH is up and running.”
Zubiri earlier sought the allocation of P320 million for the museum, and on Saturday committed about P100 million more for its completion and landscaping.
