DOH to allocate P120 million for new Boracay Hospital

The Department of Health (DoH) has reportedly expressed commitment to allocate P120 million for the building of a new Boracay hospital in the next three years.

Aklan Gov. Florencio Miraflores said that they have identified the old facility of the Department of Tourism (DOT) at Mt. Luho here as possible location of the said hospital.

"Right now we are awaiting for the formal signing of memorandum between the DOT and the DOH as first step towards the realization of the hospital," said Miraflores.

The DOT has expressed approval for the said plan since they are no longer using the old facility. The DOH for its part has seen the need to create a new hospital since the current Boracay District Hospital aside from being overcrowded is also prone to flooding.

Aside from the modern hospital, the DOH also plans to put up a trauma center here for drowning victims and other incidents. A helipad will also be placed for emergencies.
