The Department of Health (DOH) will assist in the upgrading of the Don Ciriaco Tirol Hospital also known as Boracay District Hospital into a medical tourism facility.
DOH regional director Dr. Ariel Valencia assured Boracay tourism industry will serve as springboard to more revenues for the province once the plan is done.
"We are only waiting for actions from the Aklan provincial government as they should take the lead for the plan to materialize. We will support them in this endeavor," said Valencia.
Boracay is identified by the DOH as one of the probable sites for the establishment of a medical tourism facility because it is considered a premier tourists destination in the country.
It is also expected to create more livelihood opportunities for people in the province. (PNA) /MP
