EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to re-nationalize the San Jose District Hospital 
situated within the Municipality of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro from the 
Local Government Unit (LGU) to the National Government.  Pursuant to 
the Constitutional mandate of the State to protect and promote the right to 
health of every citizen, as well as make essential goods, social services and 
most importantly, access to affordable healthcare for all, this Act shall 
mandate the San Jose District Hospital to be placed under the direct control, 
management, and supervision of the Department of Health (DOH). 
In the Province of Occidental Mindoro, the delivery of public health 
services in the province is made through the operation of various public 
health facilities like government hospitals, municipal health centers and 
rural health units. At present, the San Jose District Hospital serves as the 
main go-to place for residents of other municipalities in need of medical 
treatment. While the LGU has its full support in the management of the 
hospital, the LGU cannot further upgrade and accommodate all the needs 
of the hospital due to its limited budget. The supervision of the national

government to San Jose District Hospital will assure its continuous fund 
and aid, and unburden the LGU of the costs of running the hospital. 
In this respect, the immediate consideration and passage of this bill 
is earnestly requested.
