Introduced by Honorable Erico Aristotle C. Aumentado

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to increase the bed capacity of Francisco Dagohoy Municipal Hospital of Inabanga,
Bohol from Ten (10) beds to ONE HUNDRED (100) beds capacity.

Article II of the Philippine Constitution provides that:

“Sec. 11. The State shall adapt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health
development which shall endeavour to make essential goods, health and other
social services available to the people at affordable cost. There shall be priority
For the needs of the underprivileged, sick, elderly, disabled, women and children,
the state shall endeavour to provide free medical care to paupers.

The Francisco Dagohoy Municipal Hospital is a provincial government owned hospital
constructed and built in 1983 and was fully operational in 1985 upon the completion of the main
building and after the availability of all essential diagnostic equipment needed to provide both
curative and rehabilitative health services to the people of Inabanga and its neighboring towns of
Clarin, Buenavista, Getafe, and Danao in the second legislative district of Bohol.

It was managed and operated by the Philippine national government through the supervision of
the Department of Health. When the Local Government Code of 1991 took effect after its
approval, the management and operations of this hospital were devolved from the Department of
Health to the Provincial Government of Bohol on April 1, 1993. In the period of February to June
2003, the main building of this hospital underwent a complete renovation and rehabilitation
through the financial assistance of the Mormons. It is located in Cagay-an, Inabanga, Bohol around
72 kilometers away from the City of Tagbilaran.

There has been a noted increase in patients availing the services of the hospital and with the very
limited capacity and facility which the Francisco Dagohoy Municipal Hospital has to offer, it is
important that the necessary improvements are implemented soon for the benefit of the public.

In view of the foregoing, approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
