On the rise: Iloilo City "USWAG" Hospital

 As one of Mayor Jerry Treñas’ priorities to bring improved public health service to the Ilonggos, the city government of Iloilo initiated the establishment of Iloilo City Hospital aka USWAG Hospital.

The 100-bed hospital will be constructed in Brgy. San Pedro, Molo district on a lot overlooking Esplanade 2 and is foreseen help decongest the private hospitals of patients coming from the city.


The medical facility will be a Level 2 hospital and  like most existing private and public hospitals, it will house OB-Gyne, surgery, pedia, and internal medicine. It is also located near the molecular laboratory

"The permit to construct the medical facility was already approved by Department of Health, and other documents were being arranged for bidding; then the construction of the structure will follow", Dr. Roland Jay Fortuna. “We have already met with our human resource concerning the number of personnel needed including doctors, nurses, and also utility workers.

The proposed Iloilo City Hospital will be ready to operate in about 2 years to cater to the healthcare needs of more Ilonggos, the urgency of which was highlighted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Iloilo City hosts eight private hospitals and two public hospitals which also attend to patients from all over Panay Island, thus reaching full capacity during the COVID surge.
