The Cebu Provincial Hospital in Balamban (CPH Balamban) has received a level two accreditation status from the Philippines’ Department of Health (DOH).

In line with this, the hospital unveiled its expanded hemodialysis centre with 15 additional units, bringing its total machines to 25.

According to the DOH’s website, hospitals must be departmentalised with intensive care units, respiratory therapy services, a tertiary clinical laboratory, and a level two imaging facility with mobile X-ray equipment to achieve the status.
