Hospitals in northern Cebu, particularly those located along the northern corridor and near identified fault lines, remain under close monitoring following the recent earthquake, said Capitol Piso Health Consultant Dr. Elise Nicole Catalan in a 9:00 p.m. update.
At Cebu Provincial Hospital (CPH) Bogo, safety protocols have been immediately activated after an initial assessment by the City of Bogo Office of the Building Official showed minimal to no non-structural damage.
“The City of Bogo OBO conducted initial assessment. Minimal non-structural damages. We are in the process of bringing our patients to the hallways for easier evacuation, bracing for possible strong aftershocks,” said Dr. Z. Yurango, Chief of Hospital.
Gov. Pam Baricuatro has ordered for the Provincial Engineering Office to conduct a follow-up assessment to further ensure the structural integrity of the facility.
Hospital personnel remain on heightened alert, with patients strategically repositioned to allow faster evacuation if necessary.
Meanwhile, Sogod District Hospital reported no structural damage.
No untoward incidents were also recorded in Tuburan District Hospital, Bantayan District Hospital, and Daanbantayan District Hospital, with all lifelines stable and services continuing as normal.
The Provincial Government continues to monitor the situation closely, ensuring readiness across all health facilities in the affected areas.
