Residents of Tanza, Cavite are set to benefit from a new public hospital, which is expected to be operational by next year.

The announcement was made by Vice Mayor SM Matro, who revealed that the long-standing request for a public hospital in the town will finally be fulfilled.

The project is being undertaken in partnership with Mayor Yuri Pacumio, who has been instrumental in pushing for the development.

To make way for the new hospital, plans are underway to relocate the municipal hall to a nearby barangay, along with the town’s police and fire stations.

The current municipal hall will be converted into the site for the new public hospital, which is expected to provide much-needed medical facilities to Cavite community.

The development is seen as a major boost to the town’s healthcare infrastructure and is expected to benefit thousands of residents who currently have to travel to other areas for medical treatment.
