HOUSE BILL NO. 3901

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to re-nationalize the ALEOSAN Di: lity of
Alimodian, Province of Iloilo. ALEOSAN is a collective term for the three (3) adjacent and

trict Hospital located in the Munici

nearby barangays within the vicinity, namely, Alimodian (AL) which has 51 barangays; Leon
(LEO) which has 85 barangays and San Miguel (SAN) which has 24 barangays.

ALEOSAN District Hospital also caters to individuals coming from other towns in the 2nd
District of Iloilo as well as its surrounding municipalities. Currently, it is under the supervision
of the Province of Iloilo, and the present increase of the influx of patients needing various
medical interventions has led to this initiative, which seeks its re-nationalization to increase its

budget, upgrade its facilities, expand services and improve health care delivery.

As indicated in Article Il, Section 15 of the 1987 Constitution that "The State shall protect and
promote the right to health consciousness among them", this representation seeks to address the
needs and uphold the basic fundamental health of our constituents in the 2nd District of Hoito
through this measure.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is eamestly sought.
