PHPresident Ferdinand Marcos Jr. visited the upgraded Davao de Oro Provincial Hospital–Montevista (DDOPH-Montevista), which had been damaged by an earthquake. During his visit, Marcos handed over P147.94 million from the Socio-Civic Projects Fund to support the hospital's operations. The hospital recently completed construction of a new Medical Ward Building, funded by the Department of Health, aimed at expanding its capacity and improving healthcare services. The facility currently handles around 263 inpatients, 205 outpatients, and 105 emergency room patients daily. Marcos also toured other departments, including Obstetrics, Surgery, and Outpatient Services, and observed the discharge of a patient benefiting from the Zero Balance Billing Program. DDOPH-Montevista is the main referral hospital for several surrounding municipalities, and the government plans to upgrade it from Level 1 to Level 2 by 2027.
