AN ACT
CONVERTING THE LIBMANAN DISTRICT HOSPITAL IN THE MUNICIPALITY

THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Consistent with our government's program of providing adequate and
‘sufficient health care services to our people, | am proposing the conversion of the
Libmanan District Hospital into an annex of the Bicol Medical Center. This
conversion will help in expediting the flow and guaranteeing the accessibility of
critical medical services to the people of Libmanan, Camarines Sur.

Moreover, we can use this scheme as a model for implementing similar
programs involving other district hospitals within the province of Camarines Sur.
All these, of course, are envisioned to give life to the Constitutional mandate of
making essential goods, specifically health and social services, affordable to all
people at affordable cost.

We thus urge our colleagues to work with us for the passage of this Bill
