CEBU, Philippines - To ensure sanitation in providing basic health services, the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center announced its routine cleanup for its obstetrics department next week.

In an advisory signed by VSMMC chief Dr. Gerardo Aquino, Jr., the Department of Health-run hospital asked for understanding from the public.

“The VSMMC Infection Control Committee will conduct its annual routine preventive maintenance, scrubbing and cleaning together with the post culture in the Delivery and Labor Room, Ward I, Ward II, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit July 21-29, 2014,” read the advisory.

With this, the hospital will only be accepting complicated obstetrics cases for the advised period.

For manageable cases, patients are referred to sister-medical facilities.

Patients from the north are advised to seek medical attention at Eversley Child Sanitarium and General Hospital.

Talisay District Hospital and St. Anthony Mother and Child hospital are the referred facilities for those from the southern Cebu.

VSMMC caters to patients in Cebu, Central Visayas and other regions at affordable rate being a government institution.

The hospital started operations in 1911 as Hospital Del Sur and later on Southern Islands Hospital. In 1992, it was renamed VSMMC. The facility is now operating beyond its 800-bed capacity. —/LPM (FREEMAN)
