IN THE bid to ensure that everyone has access to medical care, the Provincial Government of Negros Occidental has accommodated over 1,000 residents of Bacolod City in different Capitol-run hospitals in the province.
Provincial Administrator lawyer Rayfrando Diaz II, in a statement, said the “absence of a government hospital” in Bacolod City caused residents to seek medical help to provincial government-run hospitals.
This showed that the province has been providing adequate medical care to everyone regardless of where they are coming from, he added.
Based on the report of the three district hospitals, about 839 residents of Bacolod City were admitted to the Teresita L. Jalandoni Provincial Hospital (TLJPH) in Silay City from January to September 2021.
Some 159 others were catered by the Cadiz District Hospital and 95 at Valladolid District Hospital also during the first nine months of 2021.
In TLJPH, most of the cases admitted were obstetrics with 314 cases followed by newborn with 239 different medical cases; medicine – 102; pedia – 85; surgery -78; and obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYN) – 21.
Most of the cases were admitted in June with 131; May and August – 111 each; March -100; September – 103; April – 78; February, 71; July – 69; and January – 55.
