LINGAYEN, Pangasinan

The Umingan Super Community Hospital is expected to be completed before the end of 2025, Gov. Ramon V. Guico III. Guico said this after a site ocular inspection last March 2, where he declared that Phase 1 of the project has been
completed and Phase 2 to immediately start. “The fit-out, the air-conditioning, ceiling, painting, the floor works, the doors, basically, the building is finished,” he said adding that Phase 3 will immediately follow after after completing Phase 2. Gov. Guico said equipment for the super community hospital will include two elevators, diagnostic
equipment, and other facilities to be used in the hospital.

“Our target is to make the hospital functional in 2025,” he declared. The province will spend a total of P200 million for the hospital, much bigger than other community hospitals, which made Gov. Guico say that the facility will serve as a model for the next community hospitals in the province. The facility will be a 55-bed capacity super hospital
situated in a four-hectare property with a Level 1 accreditation will be equipped with modern equipment like CT
(computed tomography) scan, X-ray, and diagnostic devices. At present, the community hospital near the
municipal hall in Brgy. Poblacion, in Umingan is a 15-bed capacity facility that can only cater to about 50 patients.
