"This is a historic day for Malabon! We have officially inaugurated the San Lorenzo Ruiz General Hospital, which now offers broader services and modern amenities for our community," Mayor Sandoval stated. She emphasized that the project fulfills a key promise to provide high-quality healthcare access through a modernized hospital setting.
