“Now that I came back and once again given another fresh mandate as your senator, I will seek and initiate the establishment of specialty centers in SIMC,” Ejercito said.
He said he has targeted that the SIMC will be having a Lung Center, Kidney Center, Heart Center and Cancer Center for ailing patients.
SIMC in Santiago City is a Level-3 hospital with Medical Residency Training Program and deemed as the end referral institution of all lower healthcare facilities in Isabela and the adjacent provinces of Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Ifugao and Mountain Province.
The hospital’s authorized bed capacity was increased from 50 to 350, while existing service capability, professional healthcare services, and health human resources were also upgraded accordingly.
