Department of Health (DOH) Region 12 has proposed for an augmentation funding of P65.4M through its budget for 2013 on top of the P28 million the agency has already pledged earlier under its health facilities enhancement program for the initial construction phase of Surallah Distrist Hospital. The municipal government of Surallah for their part donated the 5-hectare lot which is worth P5.5 million for the site of the hospital, while San Miguel Corporation (SMC) donated P25 million for the infrastructure component of the facility.
