This has been the thinking and policy being implemented by outgoing Manila Mayor Francisco ‘Isko Moreno’ Domagoso in the nation’s capital – the City of Manila. As the chief local executive, and someone who came from the slums of Tondo, Domagoso personally knows the plight of the poor. He knows and once saw the struggle of the social discrimination on medical treatment between the lower class, middle class, and the high class.
Barely two weeks after his inauguration as the new mayor, Domagoso reiterated his promise on building a new Ospital ng Maynila. In a press conference held on July 16, 2019, the newly elected mayor said that it would be nice for a public hospital to have glass windows facing the sunset of Manila Bay as he eyed to make the facility to have top quality services. The dream was to build it in a matter of two years “if constructed properly and with proper timeline,” Domagoso said.
He said that not because a hospital is a district or public hospital, it could not provide what a private hospital could provide. For the mayor, a hospital should function as a hospital regardless if this is a private hospital or not. “Dapat kahit public facility, first class service ang ibibigay sa tao. Kung ano ang nabibigay ng private hospital kaya rin dapat ng isang public hospital,” he said.
It doesn’t matter for Domagoso if it will take him until the late hours to inspect the ongoing construction of the Bagong Ospital of Maynila – may be alone or with other city government officials. He was known for that. The regular 8pm to 5pm government hours do not exist in the mind of Domagoso. Once, he had an inspection at the said hospital at 9pm to see for himself the development being done not only for the people of Manila but for the public.
It was on June 6 when Domagoso had its final inspection at the Bagong Ospital ng Maynila before its formal inauguration. In his regular The Capital Report, the mayor said that a healing garden, an atrium, and an esplanade were also constructed within the vicinity of the hospital. Equipment for MRI, CT Scan, beds for the rooms have also put into to its respective areas. These, Domagoso said, would make the people feel that they are treated in a private hospital.
