EXPLANATORY NOTE

The most significant role of hospitals and health institutions is to provide adequate and
competent medical services to the people.

Thus, this bill seeks to increase the bed capacity of the Bayawan District Hospital in
Bayawan City, Negros Oriental from fifty (50) Level I to one hundred (100) bed capacity Level
III and converting the hospital into a General and Specialty Hospital (Trauma and Rehabilitation)
to be known as the Bayawan General and Specialty Hospital (BGSH) and appropriating funds
therefore.

With the fast increase in the population, residents from nearby municipalities travel to
Bayawan City for medical treatment purposes. Consequently, a considerable number of patients
are not accommodated at once and many have to wait for their turn due to lack of available space
in the hospital.

The service and facilities should likewise be upgraded in order to commensurate to the
proposed increase in bed capacity. Moreover, the number of workers needs to be increased in
order to address the growing restlessness among the existing medical personnel.

For the foregoing reasons, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sopht. *
