Everyday Concepts

This week I had a first hand experience on one of the district hospitals in Cebu --- The Toledo City Hospital. The hospital is situated in Toledo City, a city which is geographically located on the western part of Cebu.

TCH (Toledo City Hospital) shoulders common medical and laboratory services. Although TCH can cater for a commendable number of patients, it doesn't have an operating room. However even without it, TCH is a secondary hospital which does a pretty fine job in maintaining health care services in the locale. Its efficient delivery and emergency rooms do a pretty fine job of catering to the basic public health needs.

In my honest opinion, I could really say that TCH is the cleanest district hospital in Cebu. I have had experience in different hospitals before but this hospital clearly excels amongst the rest (abd by a large margin). Hourly, I could see a lot of utility and maintenance staff cleaning, sweeping and mopping the floors or just wiping the glass windows. And this is a very good thing - a good, clean environment is the prime factor in accelerating the healing process. Wards are also kept in checked with regards to a pleasant environment. Hospital staff are quite friendly and accomodating to the locals and its clients. These factors make this facility a very effective healing center.

Right now, TCH is expanding its facility to cater to more patients. They are building more rooms and continuously improvi ng itself. To the officials and the people of Toledo City, keep up the good work!
