TACLOBAN CITY – The problem of water shortage experienced by staff and patients of Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center(EVMRC) will soon be over once the project to be implemented by the management is done.
This was according to EVRMC chief of hospital Dr Edgardo De Leon in an interview.
The chief of hospital revealed that the central office of the Department of Health had already downloaded the fund for the construction of a desalinization plant that will address the problem of scarcity of water supply in the hospital.
Desalinization refers to the process of removing salt and other minerals from the saline water, in order for it to be fit for human consumption and even for irrigation.
The need of ample water supply for the hospital was noted as in previous interview with EVRMC supervising nurse Dolly Casio stressed that water is one of the important components for the dialysis treatment machine that is available at the EVRMC to operate.
“The project will cost P15 million and the fund is already in our hand, by this week or next week the machine that are to be used for the process will arrive,” said De Leon, adding that the bidding process that took place last year at the EVRMC was participated in by five contractors.
“Once this is done, this would really help us a lot in terms of having ample water supply that our patients really needs,” De Leon said.
