Saviour International Hospital

Saviour International Hospital was really great. Nice rooms, tasty and well presented food, good amenities, friendly nurses, and all at affordable rates. They do live up to being the hospital with the comfort of a hotel.

They sport an electronic bed that does all sorts of movements at the push of a few buttons. Their comfort rooms have hot & cold water. Upon your entry to the room, the refrigerator is stuffed with food and drinks. Theres even a digital safe inside the room. Of course there's the cable TV and telephone line.

The interiors of the hospital is neat and modern. The hospital is 4-storeys high but their staggered floors create a total of 8 levels. It is very efficients especially because the levels are connected by gently-sloping ramps. Ingenious. At the roof-deck is a helipad for the fu

The view outside is equally pleasing. We had a great view of the Molo Church from the room. At the other side of the building is the serene Iloilo River and the new Carpenter Bridge being built. As the sun moves across the sky, the change in the colors of the beautiful landscape is fun to watch.

The hospital is surrounded by squatters on two sides but it wasn't a problem. The hospital owner, Dr. Johnson, reportedly bought 4,000 sq.m. of the land occupied by squatters. I just hope they find appropriate relocation for them before they expand the hospital.

Iloilo City is lucky to have SIH. May it serve as a catalyst for the improvement of the health swector here. I wish them the best and I hope they maintain or improve their services. An expansion of a wonderful hospital is something to look out for.
