Ospital ng Muntinlupa, the city-run hospital located in Alabang, opened a new four-storey extension building that increased its bed capacity.
Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon led the inauguration of the new building together with Rep. Jaime Fresnedi, Vice Mayor Temy Simundac, city councilors, and city department heads.
The inauguration coincided with the 105th founding anniversary of Muntinlupa recently.
"We are grateful to the Department of Public Works and Highways for helping us complete this important project," said Biazon.
The new OsMun extension building also has additional facilities to treat patients and its inauguration is intended for the opening of the new Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa-Ospital ng Muntinlupa College of Medicine.
According to Dr. Edwin Dimatatac, OsMun hospital director, the new extension building increased authorized beds from 206 to 250, in addition to outpatient department clinics, five operating room theaters and 15 intensive care unit (ICU) beds.
