QUEZON CITY, (PIA) --The City Government of Navotas inaugurated three new facilities in Navotas City Hospital, Brgy. Tanza 2, and Brgy. North Bay Boulevard South Dagat-dagatan.

Mayor John Rey Tiangco and Cong. Toby Tiangco, together with the city council, led the blessing of nine private bed wards, laboratory, blood bank, administrative offices, and conference room at NCH.

“Every year, more and more Navoteños seek medical help. To address this and provide better services, we strive to constantly upgrade and improve our hospital’s equipment and facilities,” Mayor Tiangco said.

Meanwhile, Cong. Tiangco gave assurance that the hospital's services will always be free of charge for Navoteños.

Navotas also opened a health center in NavotaAs Homes 1 at Brgy.  Tanza 2. This is the 12th barangay health center in Navotas to date.

“When we constructed NavotaAs Homes, we didn’t just intend to provide safe shelter for Navoteños. We wanted them to start a new life, one which allows them to dream big dreams and reach their aspirations. This is why we continue to build facilities that will support their overall progress and development,” Mayor Tiangco said.

Dr. Aleli Annie Grace Sudiacal, Department of Health - Metro Manila Center for Health Development (DOH-MMCHD) Regional Director, also graced the occasion.

Furthermore, Navotas inaugurated its own molecular laboratory at Brgy. NBBS Dagat-dagatan. The lab was initially intended to cater to the needs of the city for COVID-19 testing.

Mayor Tiangco said the city will expand the facility to deliver other diagnostic tests and services. (navotas pio/pia-ncr)
