BORACAY — The Department of Health (DOH) will assist in developing the Don Ciriaco Señeres Tirol Memorial Hospital, also known as the Boracay District Hospital, into a medical tourism facility.
Once the plan on the hospital is materialized, the tourism industry in this resort island will spur more revenues for the province, according to DOH-6 Director, Dr. Ariel Valencia.
He said the Health department is only waiting for the provincial government of Aklan to initiate the move.
“We will be supporting them (provincial government) in their endeavors,” said Dr. Valencia.
The DOH has identified Boracay, the premier tourist destination in the country, as one of the probable sites where a medical tourism facility can be established.
The upgraded Boracay District Hospital is also expected to provide more livelihood opportunities./
