A 50-bed hospital will soon rise in Cadiz City, Negros Occidental, following its ceremonial ground breaking held in time of the opening salvo of the city’s Golden Dinagsa Festival on January 20.

To be named the Cadiz City Medical Center (CCMC), the P270 million hospital will be constructed in Barangay Tinampaan, Cadiz City.

Among the key features of CCMC are a minor operating room, emergency room, clinical laboratory, isolation room, 8-bed medical ward, isolation room, and pharmacy, among others.

CCMC is the second hospital in Cadiz, next to the provincial government-run St. Anne’s Hospital.

Construction is estimated to run within 667 days, from the start of groundbreaking.

“We need to have this hospital, considering now the unprecedented growth of Cadiz. So as the city rapidly grows, our population is growing too. Therefore, having CCMC soon is the best move in order to respond to the needs of time, especially the health aspect,” Mayor Salvador Escalante Jr. said.

Cadiz is the third component city in Negros Occidental to have a city-managed hospital next to its contemporaries – cities of San Carlos and Bago.

Cadiz, San Carlos, and Bago are also the three local government units reclassified by the Department of Finance last December, from second to first class component cities in Negros Occidental, a statement from the Cadiz City government said.

CCM, therefore, is the first “grand showcase” after the reclassification of our beloved Cadiz, Escalante said.

Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson, meanwhile, lauded Cadiz’s initiative of having their own hospital.*
