The   basic   unit  of  the   functionality   of  a  community   is   its   people.
According to Article XIII Section 11 of 1987 Constitution, the State shall adopt an
integrated  and  comprehensive  approach  to  health  development  which  shall
endeavor to make essential goods, health and other social services available to all
the people at affordable cost.
The Gov Faustino N. Dy, Sr Memorial Hospital was funded and administered
by the Isabela frovincial Local Ctovemment Unit (PLGU).  The PLGU has its full
support in the management of the hospital but they cannot accommodate all
the  needs of the  hospital due  to its  limited  budget.  This bill seeks  to change
the  administration  of  the  Gov  Faustino  N,  Dy,  Sr  Memorial  Hospital  from
the   Provincial   I,ocal   Government   Unit   to   the   National   Government  Unit,
specifically   to   the   Department   of  Health.   This   shall   allow   better   focus
on  the  provision  and  improvement  of  health  services  and  facilities  throug]1
sufficient funding.
More   so,   this   bin   seeks   to   increase   and   upgrade   bed   capacity
of the institution in order to accommodate the growing number of popufations,
and  also  the  influx  of  nonresident  patients  availing  of  healthcare  services.
The Governor F`austino N. Dy Sr. Memorial Hospital is centrally located along the
National Highway in the City of Ilagan which makes it accessible to both northern
and southern districts of the province. It is the only public health facility that
offers  a  departmentalized  system  of  clinical  care  and  management  on  the
prevalent diseases  in the locality,  as well as different forms of treatment and
surgical procedures. To date, the institution only has an authorized bed capacity
of 100,  however,  what it is actually implementing is  200  beds.  Based on  the
Hospital's 2021 accomplishment report, the bed occupancy rate reached 296.28%
in 2019. In 2021, it went down to  100.75% but was mainly due to the Covid-19
Pandemic in 2020. Nevertheless, bed occupancy rate remains a challenge which
is exacerbated by the inadequacy in funding.


In order for Governor Faustino N. Dy sr. Memorial Hospital to attain       the
highest level of health care of the people in the region and to accommodate the
increasing  number  of patients  admitted,  immediate  approval  of this  bin  is
earnestly sought.
