NAGA CITY— True to his words, President Benigno S. Aquino III set foot here Friday, May 3, anew to fulfill his promise of leading the inauguration of the newly refurbished Naga City Hospital (NCH) located at Barangay Peñafrancia, this city. NCH, an LGU operated hospital since 1991, was beneficiary of a P15M grant from the national government through the Department of Health (DOH) and received a counterpart of another P10M from the city government here to renovate the old facility and upgrade its category. NCH was considered one of the fortunate beneficiaries under the government’s Hospital Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP). DOH fund was used to rehabilitate the old building while the city’s counterpart was used to purchase laboratory equipment, improve medical facilities, and acquire new beds and other hospital furnishings. City Administrator Florencio “Jun” Mongoso said that alongside with the facial lift of the hospital is a grand plan of requiring the medical personnel to undergo necessary trainings to ensure that their skills will match the state of the art facilities that they have purchased. This, he said, is meant to ensure that Nagueños will receive the utmost medical treatment from the best medical team in the land. “The new facade will be useless if our medical personnel are not equipped with the latest know-how on how to operate modern equipment. The facilities will be complimented with the skilled medical practitioners and staff,” Mongoso said in an interview. The upgrading, under the new DOH classification, will minimize referrals to other tertiary hospitals in the medical management of tertiary medical cases. In the past, NCH was able to respond to patients who are suffering from acute gastroenteritis, urinary tract infection, dengue fever, hypertension, and pneumonia – five of the top ten causes of admission in the said hospital. Dra. Luningning A. Luciano, NCH chief of hospital, said that the upgrading will enable them to assist patients who are in dire need of diagnostic examination. The improvement of the facilities will also increase the number of patients who will receive the services being offered by NCH. “As Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEMONC) Hospital, NCH is now a referral hospital for emergency medical neonatal and obstetrical care cases,” Luciano added.

NAGA CITY — A new set of wheels came for the mobility-impaired Bicolanos.
Twenty-three wheelchairs were handed over to 23 chosen physically challenged beneficiaries on May 6, Monday, at the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) located at the City Hall Compound here.
Recipients were from Tabaco City in Albay, from the towns of Gainzaand Bula, both in Camarines Sur and from this city.
The new wheelchairs were donated by the Latter Day Saint (LDS) Charities, an international humanitarian organization that fosters mobility assistance to physically-disabled persons.
The wheelchair distribution was spearheaded by the Office of City Councilor Nathan Sergio, in cooperation with LDS Charities, The Physicians for Peace, Kabalikat Civicom, Kapisanan ng mga may Kapansanan sa Pilipinas Inc. (KAMPI), and PDAO Naga City.
Naga City Mayor John Bongat and the other city officials, and Ms. Aika Robredo, who represented her mother, congressional candidate Atty. Leni Robredo and her aunt Dr. Penny Robredo-Bundoc, the national coordinator of The Physicians for Peace, graced the occasion.
Councilor Sergio is currently one of two accredited wheelchair assessors in Naga City, trained by the LDS Charities and the Physicians for Peace last January at the Philippine General Hospital. He chairs the Sanggunian Committee on Persons with Disability, and is a co-convenor for the Bicol Network of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability.
