History

[edit]

Zamboanga del Norte Medical Center opened in 2007 under the administration of Governor Rolando E. Yebes.[1][2]

On July 29, 2015, hundreds of children in the area were brought to ZNMC (with some transferred to Corazon C. Aquino Hospital which was operating softly from its recent opening) after taking deworming pills provided by the Department of Health.[3][4]

In October 2020, some facilities of ZNMC were closed after three of its employees were tested positive for COVID-19.[5]

Malasakit Center

[edit]

On March 11, 2019, Malasakit Center Dipolog was opened in ZNMC.[6] This move, together with Malasakit Center Dapitan in Dr. Jose Rizal Memorial Hospital in Dapitan which opened on the same day, makes Zamboanga del Norte the first and only province with two Malasakit Centers in the Philippines.[7]
