CANDON CITY – This city
is expected to have a new hospital to cater to patients soon: the Ilocos Sur
Heart Center.
Ilocos Sur
Second District Rep. Kristine Singson Meehan said the hospital, a satellite of
the Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center (ITRMC) in San Fernando City,
will specialize in coronary diseases.
“It will be
the heart center of the North,” Meehan said.
Although it
will cater mainly to patients from the provinces of Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte,
and Abra, its specialty will soon serve the whole Northern Luzon.
The two-story
main building will house the 100-bed emergency room and an outpatient
department, with a total cost of P61.61 million and P86.44 million,
respectively.
There will
also be a two-story Radiology Building, worth P28.96-million, in the center.
The ITRMC
satellite hospital compound will also have its own rehabilitation building,
dialysis building, administrative and records building, dietary building, and
maintenance building.
Meehan said
Candon’s strategic location will mean it can cater to those needing medical
help from as far as Pangasinan and Ilocos Norte.
According to
Meehan, the heart center is expected to be completed by December 2020 or
January 2021. – Rappler.com
