An Act Requiring All Public Hospitals To Prepare And Implement A Hospital Site Development Plan For The Optimum Utilization Of Its Resources In Delivering Health Services

• The bill provides for the preparation of an effective land use and development plan that public hospitals nationwide will implement to optimize utilization of resources, address facility deficiency and foresee the future infrastructure requirements of our public hospitals.  
• The aim of site development planning for any hospital is to contribute toward the creation of a proper healthcare environment. 
• It should show improvements in the hospital site including the location of existing and proposed buildings, the arrangement of circulation elements, and the utilization of open areas. 
• It will also aid hospital administration in making informed decisions regarding health facilities management.
•  The site development plan shall be regarded as a flexible framework which allows modifications dictated by changing conditions. 
• The hospital site development plan can serve as a “wishlist” for future development projects of the hospital. 
• It can also serve as the incentive for public hospitals to be given priority in accessing health facilities enhancement funding from the national government.
