IN line with her commitment to upgrade and make health and medical services more accessible to Malabueños, Mayor Jeannie Sandoval led the groundbreaking ceremony for the new extension building of the Ospital ng Malabon.
The project aims to significantly expand the hospital’s capacity and further enhance the quality of healthcare services provided by the city government, addressing the growing medical needs of Malabon’s population.
The project, a 6-storey extension building, is part of her Lucky 9-Point Agenda – Libreng Serbisyo sa Ospital ng Malabon, which aims to improve the delivery of healthcare services and provide assistance to Malabueños with their hospital expenses.
Chief of Hospital Dr. Jennifer Amolo-Lim explained that the OsMal’s extension building will serve as the hospital’s bridge toward becoming a Department of Health-accredited Level 2 hospital.
Once completed, the extension building will enable OsMal to offer departmentalized clinical services, establish critical care facilities such as its own Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and house advanced medical technologies, including high-tier imaging and tertiary laboratory services.
These improvements will allow residents to access life-saving diagnostics and specialized care without the need to seek treatment outside the city.
Upon completion, the new facility will provide an additional 16-bed capacity, helping reduce overcrowding and improve patient accommodation.
Essential medical services will be strengthened through modern facilities, including Dental Services, a Rehabilitation Center, a CT Scan Facility, and fully equipped Major and Minor Surgery Operating Rooms.
“Ang proyektong ito, sa pangunguna ng ating mahal na Mayor Jeannie Sandoval, ay sumasalamin sa hangarin ng pamahalaang lungsod na masiguro na ang mga Malabueño na nangangailangan ng tulong para sa kanilang kalusugan ay makakatanggap ng agarang serbisyo. Sa pakikipagtulungan sa Department of Health at iba’t ibang organisasyon at ahensya, mas palalakasin pa natin ang ating mga programa at mas lalapit pa ang serbisyong pangkalusugan sa higit na nangangailangan,” City Administrator Alexander Rosete told Good Riddance.
The project underscores the city government’s continued investment in public healthcare and its long-term vision of ensuring accessible, modern, and quality medical services for all Malabueños, Rosete added.
