AFP Medical Center commander brigadier general Jonna D. Dalaguit <\/strong>said that before the dormitory was built, the AFP Medical Center was limited to a one-story rest area with restricted ventilation for visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added: “The physical and emotional toll of prolonged hospital stays had always been a significant challenge for caregivers. Without adequate facilities, many watchers face the risk of developing physical or mental health issues, adding to their already heavy burden.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
