ORC Phase 2 is slated to be operational in February 2025.
Last July 2024, MDH opened the Phase 1 of the new ORC. It had a total of five theaters with two ophthalmology rooms, one ENT-ORL theater, and two minor rooms. With a total floor area of 870 sqm for the Phase 1, the construction and expansion of this facility paved the way for a more modern and equipped ORC structure, ready to accommodate increasing demand of surgical procedures.
With the opening of the Phase 2, the ORC now has a total floor area of 1,749 sqm. Renovation and expansion of ORC Phase 1 started in February 2024 until July 2024, while Phase 2’s renovation was completed in five months, starting August 2024.
MDH president Arlene Ledesma mentions that these improvements are part of the hospital’s plans to upscale and future-proof its facilities. “The benefits of this renovation spread to all those involved in surgical procedures and medical care, which means that we can now elevate the level of care given to our patients and allow them to have a better healing journey,” she added. – Rappler.com
