The Department of Public Works and Highways expects to compete the 300-bed capacity “We Heal As One” Center at the Philippine Arena Complex in Bocaue, Bulacan today.
Undersecretary Emil Sadain, head of DPWH Task Force on Augmentation of Local and National Health Facilities, said cubicles sized 3.05 square meters and six nurse stations were already assembled and painted at the three big tents at the Ciudad De Victoria estate of the Iglesia Ni Cristo in Bocaue, Bulacan.
Tent number 1 with floor space of 26 meters by 105 meters has 92 bed cubicles installed while tent numbers 2 and 3 with identical areas of 50 meters by 60 meters have 104 bed cubicles in each tent, said Sadain.
The quarantine facility installed three 40-footer container vans as toilet facility of health workers, medical personnel’s mess hall, disinfecting tents and supply storage area.
The DPWH Task Force plans to finish all civil works at the three mega tents today, or ahead of the April 29 schedule.
