Gasataya made the comment after visiting the location in Barangay Vista Alegre.

Following the visit, he noted that land development is currently underway from the highway leading to the hospital area, and two out of three ancillary facilities are nearing completion.

Phase one, funded by the DPWH, involves constructing a multi-purpose building along with a four-storey main hospital building funded by the Department of Health (DOH)-Western Visayas through the city government.

Gasataya said: “They (the contractor) have already put-up walls to start construction of the main hospital. In the next two or three months, probably phase two will also start.”

Set to open in 2024 with 100 beds, the Bacolod City General Hospital is being established through Republic Act 11564 authored by Gasataya and sponsored by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.

The hospital will be built on a nearly four-hectare lot, which has been donated by the Gensoli family.
