Metro Zamboanga Hospital and Medical Center, Inc. (MetroZam) has signed a 10-year term loan agreement amounting to P600 million with Philippine National Bank (PSE: PNB) to support the on-going construction and completion of its hospital building.
MetroZam will be the first eightstorey hospital with a helipad in the Zamboanga Peninsula region.
MetroZam is expected to house various specialized clinical services.
The hospital will also generate employment for at least 300 professional and sub-professional health workers in the region.
According to PNB’s Provincial Commercial Banking Group Head Aaron Astor, this partnership is in line with PNB’s thrust to help drive social and economic development in the countryside.
