Today, June 5, the newly refurbished building at the Alternate Care Site was blessed by Mati Bishop Abel Apigo in a simple ceremony attended by members of the Mati Incident Management Team.

The second building of the Alternate Care Site at the Isolation Unit of the Divine Healer, formerly known as the Milagrosa Retreat Center, has a 16-bed capacity in addition to the first building with a 14-bed capacity.

Like the first building, the new wing is also complete with aircondition units, wifi connections, television and cable and other amenities to make the stay of the patients as comfortable as possible.

City of Mati Mayor Michelle Nakpil Rabat inked a memorandum of agreement with the Mati Clergy for the free use of their Milagrosa Retreat Center as a PUI facility.

The City Government spent about P10 million for the rehabilitation of the entire compound that now houses the two buildings for PUIs, the triage center, and the quarters for the frontliners while on duty. (CIO MATI)
