Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon said the city government will implement reforms at the Ospital ng Muntinlupa (OsMun) in Alabang.
Biazon held a dialogue with doctors of the hospital about concerns.
The supervision of OsMun was returned to the Muntinlupa City government based on an ordinance passed last year.
In 2019, the OsMun was designated as a Local Economic Enterprise (LEE) aimed at generating its own revenue.

“Ngunit sa ilang taon ng operations, lumalabas na hindi niya kaya makamit ang nasabing revenue na nagdulot ng kakulangan sa naihahatid na serbisyo (But after several years of operations, it turned out that it was unable to achieve the said revenue, which caused a shortage in the service delivered),” Biazon posted on Facebook.
During the meeting, Biazon explained to the OsMun doctors the changes that will be implemented and listened to their complaints and suggestions.
He said the return of OsMun under the city government was meant to give the hospital the capability to provide the right service.
A Transition Technical Working Group was created to prepare for the effectivity of the ordinance last Jan. 1.
One of the reforms to be implemented by the city government is the allotment of P100 million for the renovation of the OsMun building.
