Misamisnons demand better healthcare services at MHARSMC

 

OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental--Frustration  is mounting among Misamisnons over healthcare services at Mayor Hilarion A. Ramiro Sr. Medical Center (M.H.A.R.S.) in Ozamiz. Despite the Asenso administration's efforts, hospital services have not met public expectations.

“Dapat gyud na tagaan og pagtagad sa atong mga namunoan dinhe sa Ozamiz ug probinsya. Maayo kaayo ang programa sa Asenso apan kining mga way ayo og batasan nga dili kamao mohatag og bili sa mga nagdaot angay gyud na sila tangtangon. Daghan kaayo nanginahanglan og trabaho, dapat pang ilisan nana sila tungod sa walay maayong serbisyo.”

Patients and their families have reported significant delays in both admission and discharge processes, sometimes extending several hours or even days longer than expected. This frustration is compounded by perceived unresponsiveness from hospital staff.

“I hope nga pinaagi sa tabang sa Asenso administration mausab na ila proseso ug pagdumala sa mga pasyente. Mas mapadali na unta pagpa-admit ug pagpagawas sa pasyente kay mao jud na usa sa pinakadugay nga proseso nila.”

A particularly tragic incident has brought these issues into sharp focus: a patient in urgent need of oxygen faced severe delays and errors, ultimately resulting in their death. This case has intensified calls for substantial reforms in hospital management and patient care.

“Sa case sa ako mama, naglisod siya og ginhawa, need oxygen pero dugay kaayo niabot, pag-abot sayop pa jud gidala kay walay sulod. Namamatay nalang ang akong mama.”

The community's message is clear: there is a strong demand for improved service standards and greater respect from hospital staff. Many residents are calling for a revamp of hospital procedures, including the removal of ineffective staff and the hiring of more empathetic and efficient personnel.

In conclusion, while the city's and province’s health programs are appreciated, there is an urgent need for MHARSMC to address these service deficiencies. Residents are urging immediate leadership changes to enhance the quality of healthcare and prevent future distressing experiences.
