Cordillera - Cordillerans who are seeking for affordable and quality health services may soon find their way in a hospital being built and ran by professional Cordillera doctors. 

La Trinidad Mayor Salda revealed recently that a group of doctors who traced their roots from the different parts of the Cordillera are looking for a suitable land to build an affordable and state-of-the-art hospital for the Cordilleran people. 

He said that Cordillerans are very lucky because  these doctors who are working abroad decided to build the hospital in Cordillera to provide affordable medical services to residents and visitors.

"The people of La Trinidad will be the luckiest Cordillerans because it is in the locality that the doctors want the hospital to be established the soonest considering the increasing need of the residents and visitors for affordable and quality health care services from state-of-the-art health care facilities," Mayor Salda said.

These  doctors want to render services to their fellow Cordillerans so they want the hospital to be built somewhere in La Trinidad. They also want the hospital facilities to provide affordable and quality health care services to the people. 

According to Salda, the Cordillera doctors want the hospital to be built and become operational the soonest possible time so that people can have alternative options when seeking medical care aside from going to Baguio and Benguet hospitals. 

This proposed hospital will offer cheaper health services to the public compared to the prevailing rates being imposed by the existing hospitals in town. This will benefit Cordillerans who can not afford to pay higher rates.
