Councilor Go hails opening of Tablon City Hospital, cites boost for senior citizens

“MALIPAYON kita nga pormal nga gibuksan ang atong City Hospital sa Barangay Tablon ug andam na kini sa pagserbisyo medikal para sa katawhan.”

This was the message of Councilor Gilda O. Go, chair of the City Council committee on senior citizens, as she welcomed the formal opening of the City Hospital Annex in Barangay Tablon.

The facility, inaugurated last August 26, 2025, initially operates as a Primary Care Center offering outpatient consultations, a minor surgery room, an animal bite treatment center, and pharmacy services. Diagnostic and laboratory facilities are expected to be added in the coming months.

Strategically located in Barangay Tablon, the hospital aims to help decongest major health institutions such as the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) by bringing essential services closer to city residents, particularly those in the city’s eastern barangays.

Councilor Go commended Mayor Rolando A. Uy, Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez, fellow councilors, and the City Health Office for supporting the project. She expressed confidence that the facility will significantly benefit senior citizens, who often encounter difficulties in accessing timely and affordable health care.

“The opening of this hospital is a welcome development for our senior citizens and other vulnerable sectors. This facility is a testament to our shared vision of a healthier, more resilient Cagayan de Oro,” Go stressed, encouraging Kagay-anons to maximize the services now available.

The City Hospital in Tablon marks another milestone in the city government’s continuing efforts to expand health care delivery and ensure that no community is left behind. (JAO/SP/Photos from Councilor Go’s FB page)
