MAHIGIT tatlong libong trabaho ang inaasahang maidaragdag sa work forces sa Quezon City dahil sa University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) Diliman program na pinondohan ng mahigit P21 billion.
Bukod dito, sinabi ni Anakalusugan Party-list Rep. Mike Defensor, tiyak na lalong sisigla ang ekonomiya ng lungsod sa nasabing programa.
“We are wholly endorsing the project. Besides vastly improving public access to world-class charity hospitalization and outpatient services, the project will create 3,400 new permanent jobs,” ayon pa sa kongresista na tumatakbong mayor ng lungsod.
“We’ve gone over the project details, and the hospital alone will create 1,500 new full-time occupations for medical and allied healthcare staff plus 1,900 new fixed positions for general administrative workers,” dagdag pa nito.
Kabilang sa permanenteng mga posisyon ay para sa doctors, nurses and nursing attendants, medical technologists, midwives, pharmacists and pharmacy aides, dentists and dental aides, nutritionist-dieticians, respiratory therapists, radiologic technologists, social welfare officers and assistants, laboratory technicians and aides, medical equipment technicians, health education and promotion officers, physical therapy technicians at health physicists.
Bukod sa healthcare workers ay tiyak kailangan din aniya ang daan-daang trabahador para sa building and equipment maintenance, cleaning, security services at iba pa.
“In the initial phase, the project will generate thousands of new construction-related jobs that will benefit low-income households. Once the project is completed, additional jobs will be created by small businesses that will emerge around the hospital’s 24-hour operation,” paliwanag ni Defensor.
Magkakaroon din aniya ng positibong epekto ito sa pagkain, transportasyon at iba pang kailangan ng mga mga bagong manggagawa sa nasabing pagamutan kapag naitayo na ang UP-PGH Diliman project.
Kabilang sa itatayo sa UP-PGH Diliman Project ang state-of-the-art, 700-bed university teaching and research hospital na may multi-specialty capabilities, outpatient services, hospice care, auxiliary services at College of Medicine.
Itatayo ito sa 4.2 ektaryang open lot sa loob ng UP-Diliman campus na may floor area na 80,000 square meters at 13,600 square meter para sa parking.
Target na tumanggap ng hanggang 2,000 outpatients kada araw at 39,196 in-patient admission kada taon ang itatayong bagong pagamutan kaya kapag nahalal umano ang mambabatas bilang mayor ng lungsod ay titiyakin nito na agad itatayo ang nasabing pagamutang ito. (BERNARD TAGUINOD)
