Marcos Inaugurates Pampanga Children’s Hospital
The new Department of Health hospital will offer zero-balance billing and serve children from Luzon regions, officials said.
- On Friday, President Ferdinand Marcos inaugurated the Jose B. Lingad Children's Medical Center in Mabalacat City, Pampanga, promising improved regional pediatric healthcare access for families across Luzon.
- Families previously traveled to Metro Manila for specialized pediatric care, enduring what Marcos called the "financial and emotional toll of a long journey" away from work and home.
- Part of the Clark Multi-Specialty Medical Center, the facility features an Integrated Operating Room, an AI-enabled X-ray system, and a 128-slice CT scanner for advanced pediatric services.
- Starting August 1, 2026, the hospital will open to patients with a zero-balance billing program, ensuring affordable care for families across Luzon and neighboring regions.
- Marcos pledged to develop additional facilities—a Renal Center, Cardiovascular Center, and Cancer Center—within the complex to establish regional specialty hospitals nationwide.
