QC Dorm
BAGO matapos ang buwan ay matatapos na ang “We Heal as One” Offsite Dormitories na itinatayo sa Quezon Memorial Circle.
Ayon kay Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Sec. Mark Villar ang mga living quarters na ito ay para sa mga doctor, nurse at iba pang frontline healthcare workers ng National Kidney and Transplant Institute, Philippine Heart Center, East Avenue Medical Center, Veterans Memorial Hospital, Childrens Hospital, at V. Luna General Hospital.
“The on-going construction of six (6) dormitories each with 16 rooms and occupancy of two (2)-person per room for a total capacity of 192 will be completed at the end of June 2020,” saad ng kalihim.
May mga healthcare workers na kailangan ng mapagpapahingahan habang naghihintay ng kanilang susunod na shift.
Nagpasalamat naman si Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte sa proyekto ng DPWH.
“Quezon City is extremely grateful to have been chosen by the DPWH through the kindness and generosity of Sec Mark Villar to be the recipient of the dormitories for health workers project. QC has the most number of hospitals among all the cities in the country and it is our duty and responsibility to look after our health workers as best as we can, so that they can be well enough to look after our needs during this health crisis,” ani Belmonte.
