If there will be no delays, the biggest and most modern private hospital in Guiguinto, Bulacan will be completed in the first quarter of 2025, Bulacan 5th District Representative Ambrosio "Boy" Cruz said on Sunday, Dec. 10.
Cruz said this was the assurance given to him by the owners and principal stockholders of the Luzon Alliance Medical Center, Inc. (LAMCI).
He said LAMCI’s opening timetable is almost simultaneous with the projected initial test runs of the elevated Northrail Commuter System from Caloocan City to the capital City of Malolos which will only take 30 minutes.
“The construction of LAMCI in Guiguinto, considered the center of Bulacan’s industrial and commercial hub, is timely and a wise move,” he said.
Cruz highly praised the founders of the hospital - LAMCI President Dr. Oscar Evangelista, owner of the biggest hospital in Mindoro Oriental, Chairman Dr. Roberto De Leon, and Dra. Maria Socorro Caldevida - for investing in Bulacan.
It was learned that Dr. Evangelista also owns the most successful hospital in Puerto Galera whose clientele are mostly international tourists and local celebrities vacationing in the island paradise.
Ospital ng Guiguinto administrator Dr. Paul Ruel C. Camiña, who is slated to become LAMCI’s medical director, said the completion of the 10-storey hospital building and two underground parking spaces is all on the scheduled target date.
The advent of a cutting-edge medical center in Bulacan’s booming industrial hub will greatly complement the medical and emergency needs of residents in the neighboring metropolis of Malolos, Calumpit, Hagonoy, Paombong, Bulakan, Balagtas, Plaridel, Bocaue, Pandi, Norzagaray, Marilao and Sta. Maria due to the ease of travel along NLEX.
The strategic location of LAMCI, according to Dr. Camiña, makes it ideally responsive especially to emergency cases that may occur in the future along the Northrail Commuter trains. The NSCR-Balagtas Station is barely 10 minutes away and will play a crucial role in life-saving operations.
With its theme “Health Care beyond expectation”, the medical center has lined up enviable facilities that include a Comprehensive Cancer Center; Kidney and Transplant Institute; Dialysis center; Endoscopy unit; Minimal Invasive Surgery; Neurology and Stroke center; Intensive Care Unit; Neonatal and Pediatric ICU; Orthopaedic and Trauma center.
Other facilities include centers of Women and Men’s Health, EENT, Occupational Medicine; Endocrine and Diabetes, Wellness and Nutrition, Pulmonary, and Respiratory Care; Endourology, Dermatology, and Aesthetic Center; Physical and Rehab Unit; Pain Management Unit; Level 3 Reference Laboratory services; and complete Radiology Unit.
