The Calamba District Hospital is undergoing a major expansion that will significantly boost healthcare access for residents of Calamba City and nearby towns in Laguna. The project, supported by the Laguna provincial government and the Department of Health, adds a new extension building that will increase the hospital capacity from 100-150 patients to 300 patients.
The construction was completed in four phases with a total funding of 34 million pesos. The new building provides additional space for an emergency facility, more patient wards, and a dormitory for healthcare workers. This expansion addresses the growing demand for quality medical services in one of Laguna most populous cities.
Calamba City, known as the birthplace of national hero Dr. Jose Rizal, has seen rapid population growth in recent years due to its proximity to Metro Manila and the development of industrial zones in the area. The hospital expansion is part of broader health reforms pledged by the Laguna government to ensure that healthcare infrastructure keeps pace with the city growth.
The Calamba District Hospital serves as a primary healthcare facility for residents across the city barangays. With the expanded capacity, more patients can be accommodated for emergency care, inpatient services, and other medical needs without being referred to hospitals in other cities.
This development is a welcome addition to Calamba growing list of public infrastructure improvements. Residents can look forward to better healthcare access as the city continues to modernize its facilities and services.
