DAVAO CITY – To ensure the troopers' well-being, the Army’s 10th Infantry Division (ID) has upgraded the medical capabilities of Camp General Manuel T. Yan Senior Station Hospital (CGMTYSSH) in Mawab, Davao de Oro, an official said Thursday.

Capt. Mark Anthony Tito, 10ID spokesperson, said the improvements included upgrades on physical therapy, mental health resiliency, ultrasound rooms and laboratory section.

Newly procured equipment also included the automated blood chemistry analyzer, and portable ultrasound machine.

“The hospital is now accessible as its various equipment were enhanced and some are procured,” Tito said in an interview.

Tito noted that the Command Welfare Assistance Fund (CWAF) amounting to PHP1.6 million has made the enhancement possible through the CWA Board.

Maj. Al-Amen Pandaog, the CGMTYSSH commanding officer, has assured faster and more accurate diagnoses and treatment with the procurement of equipment and enhancement of facilities.

"For more than 10 years, we only rely on the Camp Panacan Station Hospital for Neuro (Psychiatric) exams. This time, we have our own which can address the enlistment, promotion, and our schooling,” Pandaog said.

Pandaog assured that their hospital has the "most competent, dedicated, and best medical health providers" to address the troops' health concerns.

Maj. Gen. Nolasco Mempin, the 10ID commander, said the improvements at CGMTYSSH are "indeed an assurance to every soldier that their health and personal well-being are being taken care of."
