EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Norzagaray Municipal Hospital serves a growing population in the 
Municipality of Norzagaray and its surrounding communities in the Province of 
Bulacan. With the continuous increase in population, the current twenty-five 
(25) bed capacity is often insufficient to meet the healthcare needs of the
community, leading to overcrowding and a strain on existing medical facilities.
This proposed bill seeks to address this pressing issue by increasing the 
hospital's bed capacity to fifty (50) beds. This expansion will not only improve 
the quality of medical services provided but also ensure that the hospital can 
adequately respond to the health demands of the municipality's residents. The 
increase in bed capacity will be complemented by the necessary expansion of 
facilities and acquisition of modern medical equipment, as well as the hiring of 
additional medical and support personnel. 
The passage of this bill is a crucial step towards providing accessible, 
efficient, and quality healthcare services to the people of Norzagaray, Bulacan. It 
is for this reason that the approval of this bill is earnestly sought. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate consideration and approval of this 
measure is earnestly sought.
