‘Super health center’ to be built in Leyte town
A PHP12-million Super Health Center is set to be constructed in Matag-ob, Leyte, aimed at improving public health services for the municipality's 21 villages.
Mayor Bernardino Tacoy expressed gratitude to the national government for approving their 2023 request to the Department of Health (DOH) for the facility.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has received the budget from the DOH and issued a notice to proceed with the project on January 13, 2025.
The local government is currently finalizing the demolition of an old structure at the municipal hall complex, the designated project site.
Mayor Tacoy is optimistic about the project's timely completion, despite a disagreement with Leyte 4th district Representative Richard Gomez regarding the facility's location.
The Mayor advocates for the health center's placement in the town center for accessibility, citing potential landslide risks on the route to Representative Gomez's preferred location in Sta. Rosa village.
