Manila Mayor Domagoso thanks PBBM for support as city opens 7th hospital

Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso celebrated President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s birthday by highlighting the city's expanding healthcare services and attributing these advancements to national government support.

Moreno expressed gratitude to President Marcos Jr., the Department of Health (DOH), and PhilHealth for their collaboration with Manila.

Manila recently inaugurated its seventh hospital, the President Corazon C. Aquino General Hospital, also known as Baseco Hospital.

The city has also added diagnostic facilities at Ospital ng Maynila, including MRI, CT scan, mammogram, ultrasound, X-ray, and its first cardiac catheterization laboratory.

With DOH support, the city hopes to eventually provide angioplasty, and Moreno also pressed for full PhilHealth registration of Manila residents under the Universal Health Care Law.
