ROXAS CITY, Capiz (PNA) — A "Health Centrum," a medical tourism facility will rise in this city, courtesy of local private investors with several doctors coming from the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).

This was disclosed by Capiz Governor Victor Tanco who expressed optimism over the benefits that the P600-million project will be bringing to Capiznons.

Tanco said the facility is similar to that of St. Luke’s Hospital where the patients will not feel that they are inside the hospital but instead experience the feeling of being inside a deluxe hotel.

The facility will have a restaurant, sports facilities, and other wellness equipment catering particularly to senior citizens, retirees, among others.

He added that being the first of its kind in Western Visayas, the facility will again boost the position of the region as a tourism hub.
