Health Facilities and Services

         The health care delivery services of Sipalay City are relatively available to all 17  barangays. They comprise a network of 14 Barangay Health Stations (BHSs) with one  main and one sub-station; one private hospital with a 20-bed capacity; one private  infirmary and 3 private clinics. They are augmented by private dental and optical clinics,  drugstores and 55 Day Care centers operated by the City Government under its City  Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO).

       Health manpower resources include six doctors, one sanitary inspector, three private  dentists, nine nurses and support personnel mainly found in the urban center. The  Barangay Health Centers are manned by a total of 22 midwives, 260 Barangay Health  Workers (BHWs) and trained hilots, 17 Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS) and 55 Day  Care workers.

        It is commendable that almost all barangays have at least one health center with  relatively adequate staffing. Some health centers though are already dilapidated and not  equipped with adequate facilities and necessary equipment. Medicines are often lacking if  not available for simple treatment. For serious illnesses requiring confinement, hospital bed  capacity vis-�-vis population is still grossly lacking compared to the standard of 1:500.  Health manpower ratio however to population is more than sufficient at this time.
