DavSur LGU provides dormitories for frontline workers

Davao del Sur Governor Marc Cagas (holding ceremonial key) turns over the dorm facility to DSPH


DAVAO CITY, Jan. 31 (PIA) – The provincial government of Davao del Sur has provided four (4) units of dormitories intended for frontline workers in the province.

 

The three (3) units which amounted to P4.9 million, were recently turned over to the Gregorio Matas District Hospital (GMDH) in the municipality of Kiblawan.

 

Governor Marc Cagas also turned over one unit of dormitory and two (2) isolation facilities worth P5.1 million to the Davao del Sur Provincial Hospital (DSPH) in Digos City.

 

The dormitory units will give temporary shelter to frontline workers, while the isolation facilities are for treatment of COVID-19 patients.

 

“The dorm and treatment facilities are really beautiful facilities which include kitchen or commissary. This is a manifestation that our intention is well,” Cagas has stated during the turnover ceremony.

 

“We must take the baby steps, a step at a time to lay down the foundation for this hospital including our Davao del Sur Provincial Hospital to be more efficient so that we can serve much way more our indigent patients,” he said.

 

The Governor bared the hardship to maintain and operate a hospital amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Although, he assured his constituents that the hospitals will continue to operate for the people of Davao del Sur, especially for the less fortunate.

 

“We will continue to be producing quality infrastructure projects and quality social services for people like health and education. After all, if we continue to do these things, then I’m pretty sure that we will continue to make our people happy,” Cagas stated.

 

Jealyn Solatorio, GMDH administrative officer, expressed her gratitude to the provincial government for extending help and providing facilities for their frontline workers, especially in far-flung areas like Kiblawan. (PIA-XI/Franchette Delfin)

Though we are young, though we are still around two-years old from the time we were launched, I say we are fortunate because we did not start from zero. We were a campus of SPAMAST such that there wer...
