Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark A. Villar recently inspected an ongoing modular hospital being built by the DPWH to aid in the COVID-19 Program of city of Las Piñas.
Secretary Villar, together with his sister and Las Piñas Rep. Camille A. Villar, checked the project which is being implemented inside the Las Piñas General Hospital and Satellite Trauma Center (LPGH-STC) in Bernabe Compound, Diego Cera Ave, Pulanglupa I.
“Our team from the DPWH Las Piñas-Muntinlupa District Engineering Office has so far accomplished 90 percent of the facility complete with ventilation systems, oxygen lines, and air condition units,” said Secretary Villar.
“We are building a modular hospital capable of accommodating 36 COVID-19 patients. This will hopefully bring relief, decongesting the existing facilities of LPGH-STC so they can focus on treating severe cases or other non-COVID-19 patients,” said Secretary Villar.
The installation of new modular hospital in LPGH-STC which commenced before the end of April 2021 is expected to be completed and opened this June 24, 2021.
