To further enhance the capabilities and responsiveness of Las Piñas General Hospital and Satellite Trauma Center in dealing with Covid-19, Senator Cynthia Villar donated over five units of hospital equipment to said hospital.
Dr. Rodrigo Hao, the hospital’s Medical Director, received the equipment which included a passbox, biological freezer, biological refrigerator, autoclave sterilizer, and ventilator.
“Now, more than ever, it is crucial for our local hospitals to have the necessary equipment and facilities to cope with COVID-19 cases on top of their regular patients. The ongoing pandemic is putting so much pressure on hospitals and frontliners, we need to support and equip them,” said Villar, who has been supporting her home city’s hospital since she was a congresswoman.
She authored Republic Act 9240 in 2004 that converted the then Las Piñas District Hospital into LPGH & STC and increased the bed capacity of the hospital from 50 then to the present 200 beds.
