APAYAO(PIA)- - Governor Elias Bulut Jr. is confident that patients from Apayao and even the nearby areas of the provinces of Kalinga and Cagayan will be served  more efficiently with the increase of workforce of the Conner District Hospital (CDH).

The Governor recently administered the oath of office of 118 newly hired and promoted employees of the CDH. There are 64 for the Nursing Department, 49 for the Medical Department and five for the Hospital Operations and Patient Support Service Department.

Bulut said that with  the added personnel,  the CDH has now greater capacity to serve the people of Apayao and from other nearby areas for  efficient delivery of health services . He also  called on those who need medical attention even for consultations not to hesitate to go to the hospital because of financial constraints.

CDH Medical Chief Dr. Nelson O. Rigor said that with the additional workforce  of the hospital, the CDH assures that clients and patients are given quality healthcare services.

The new employees were oriented and familiarized with the hospital policies and programs as well as the Anti-Red Tape Act Compliance and Accomplishments, and Freedom of Information.
