BATAC CITY—A proposed
two-storey Cancer Institute and Hospice Center will soon rise in this city’s
premiere health care provider, Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical
Center (MMMH&MC).
Located in a 1.5-hectare
donated lot at Barangay San Pedro along the Batac-Banna road, Dr. Jose Orosa
III of the MMMH&MC said that the Batac hospital continues to expand with
numerous infrastructure developments and will soon house cancer patients and
other patients in need of a hospice care center.
Being the center for health
and wellness in the region, Dr. Orosa said the proposed Cancer Institute and
Hospice Care under the supervision of the MMMH&MC will certainly benefit
Ilocanos in the region.
Instead of going to Metro
Manila for treatment, Dr. Orosa said that their constituents will save a lot of
time, effort and money as health services becomes more accessible.
Funded by the Department of
Health, the proposed Cancer Institute and Hospice Center in Batac City hopes to
serve better patients in Ilocos Norte including those from the nearby provinces
of Ilocos Sur, Cagayan and Apayao.
