EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 15 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution mandates that, "The 
State shall protect the right to health of the people and instill health consciousness 
among them." It is mandated by the highest law of the land to ensure that all 
communities have access to quality and accessible healthcare.
The Tumauini Community Hospital is classified as Level I hospital by the 
Department of Health. It has an authorized bed capacity of fifteen (15) beds but based 
on 2018 Statistical Report it is implementing an actual bed capacity of thirty-two (32) 
beds. It serves forty-six (46) barangays of the municipality nd caters to some patients 
coming from the municipalities of Cabagan, Sto. Tomas, Delfin Albano and the City of 
Hagan. Hence, it caters patients beyond its capacity.
This bill therefor seeks to increase the bed capacity of the Tumauini Community 
Hospital In Tumauini, Province of Isabela from fifteen (15) to one hundred (100) beds. 
This will make Tumauini Community Hospital provide the quality health care for the 
people in the community and accommodate the increasing number of patients.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure earnestly 
sought.
