By Gideon C. Corgue

PAGADIAN CITY, February 9—More and more private hospitals have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Zamboanga del Sur Provincial Government to ensure that patients admitted to private hospitals can avail medical assistance.


Joefe P. Suson, the provincial administrator said that aside from the zero billing policy that has been implemented for a long time at the Zamboanga del Sur Medical Center (ZDSMC), the provincial government has expanded the provision of medical assistance in the province through the signing of the MOA with private hospitals.

Suson added that Aisah Medical Center is the first private hospital in the province that agreed to implement the program of Governor Victor Yu. Followed by Mendero Hospital, Pagadian Doctors Hospital, Happy Valley Hospital in Tambulig and recently Horizon Medical Center in Lakewood town which is expected to help the people of the second district of the province.

Aside from medical assistance, Suson said that the provincial government has also signed an MOA with Gamalinda Funeral Homes, Pagadian City and Paradise Funeral Homes, Ramon Magsaysay to provide burial assistance to  the needy people.

Suson also disclosed that Hofilena and Manupac Hospital in the municipality of Labangan are also interested in this partnership with the provincial government but are still waiting for the processing of its documents. (jcc/The Pagadian Times with reports from Victory Zamboanga del Sur)
