A “rapid deployment first class hospital” will be developed at the Cagayan Special Economic Zone and Freeport by Commerce, a company from the Slovak Republic, Secretary Raul L. Lambino has announced.
The Cagayan Economic Zone Authority has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Commerce providing for the development of the major hospital that will “boost health care not just for Freeport locators but for our people in the entire region,” said Lambino, CEZA Administrator and chief executive officer.
