New hospital in Region 1 to rise in 2022



Narvacan Mayor Luis Crisologo “Chavit” Singson, who was former governor of Ilocos Sur, led the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of Ilocos Doctors Medical Center (IDMC) last Dec. 30, 2019.

With this, residents of Region 1 could expect a state-of-the-art facility of IDMC as its construction finally begins. When completed, the IDMC will be the 36th hospital in Ilocos Sur and the first in the region.

Design of the hospital.

Located in Magsingal, Ilocos Sur, conceptualization on the establishment of IDMC commenced in the last quarter of 2019 with a budget of P1.5 billion. Given its location, IDMC considers it a main area which includes the nearby municipalities of San Juan, Cabugao, Sto. Domingo, and San Ildefonso. It will also cater to the general population of Ilocos.

The 10,000-square-meter facility was designed by the architectural firm Expo Manila. It will be consistent with Department of Health  guidelines and eyeing a Level III accreditation. With 200-bed capacity, it will have medical excellence, healthcare professionals, and latest technology as its core products and services.
