Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 4) — Health Secretary Ted Herbosa on Tuesday said a new multi-specialty hospital will soon rise in Clark, Pampanga.
The facility, which is expected to benefit residents of Central and Northern Luzon, will break ground on July 17.
“This was the original one designated in Executive No. 19 as the heart center that will be built in Clark,” Herbosa told a Palace briefing.
\”It will be starting as a general hospital and then move up to a children specialty, and then a cardiac specialty, then the kidney specialty. So, it will be just like what we have in the North Triangle of Quezon City, wherein you have all the different specialties,\” he added.
Herbosa noted that it has long been the Department of Health’s goal to establish specialty hospitals across the country, particularly since the passage of the Sin Tax Law, which helped fund programs in the health care sector.
