BACOLOD CITY, March 7 (PNA) – The construction of the two-storey Bacolod Eye Center here, which is being undertaken by the City Engineer’s Office (CE), has kicked off.

The new project is situated right at the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital (CLMMRH).

Mayor Evelio Leonardia said that he expects the project to be finished by May and that the facility will soon be able to help Bacoleños with eye problems.

The mayor said that a lot of people will be able to benefit from this facility so he is confident that the project will be sustainable, realistic and functional.

Leonardia stressed that the building will be turned over to CLMMRH for supervision after its completion.

The city government has allotted P3.2 million for the completion of the facility that will render free services such as consultation, surgery and supply of medicines to all patients identified by the Department of Social Services and Development.

The ground floor will house two examination rooms, fluorescent and laser rooms, and a conference room, while the second floor will have three operating rooms, a scrubbing area, a waiting area, doctor’s lounge and nurses’ station. (PNA)
