DOH investigating unfinished health facility in Zamboanga
The Department of Health (DOH) is investigating the unfinished construction of a health facility in Zamboanga, contracted by St. Timothy Construction Corp., owned by the Discaya family.
Health Secretary Ted Herbosa confirmed the ongoing investigation, stating that the regional director is handling the internal process.
Herbosa expressed openness to the Independent Commission on Infrastructure (ICI) joining the probe if the DOH's internal process proves insufficient.
The probe into the Zamboanga facility follows concerns raised about the Discaya family's alleged involvement in questionable flood control projects.
Senator Win Gatchalian also highlighted a broader issue, citing a 2024 Commission on Audit report detailing 123 uncompleted DOH infrastructure projects worth approximately P11 billion.
