The Don Jose S. Monfort Medical Center, formerly known as Barotac Nuevo Municipal Hospital, was established as a 10-bed hospital in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo, following the approval of Batasang Pambansa Bilang 303 on November 14, 1982. The hospital was constructed by the Ministry of Public Works and completed in 1985. It began operations in December 1983 with a 22-personnel complement, initially headed by Dr. Mauricio Madrona, followed by Dr. Rafael Callado in 1987.
On March 20, 1992, Republic Act (RA) 7264 increased the hospital's capacity to 50 beds, but due to fiscal constraints following the devolution of health services to local governments in 1993, the 50-bed capacity was not implemented, and the hospital continued to operate with a 10-bed capacity.
On November 2, 1997, Republic Act 8372 renamed the hospital as Don Jose S. Monfort Medical Center Extension Hospital (DJSMMCEH) and upgraded its status to a tertiary hospital under the supervision of Western Visayas Medical Center (WVMC). A Memorandum of Agreement was signed between the Department of Health (DOH) and the Iloilo Provincial Government for the hospital’s re-nationalization.
In 2001, Dr. Andres M. Dolar was designated as Officer-In-Charge of the hospital. In 2005, the DOH transferred management of DJSMMCEH back to WVMC, with Dr. Jose Mari C. Fermin, chief of WVMC, assuming direct supervision of the hospital. Dr. Joseph Dean L. Nicolo was designated as Officer-In-Charge in 2006 and later appointed Chief of Hospital II in 2014.
DJSMMCEH’s bed capacity increased to 25 beds as a Level 1 General Hospital in 2006, and to 50 beds in 2017. On June 3, 2019, the hospital's License to Operate was upgraded to 100 beds, Level 1 General Hospital.
On April 29, 2022, Republic Act 11725 was signed into law, converting DJSMMCEH into a full-fledged tertiary hospital. This law allows for the expansion of healthcare services and enhances the hospital's ability to receive referrals for higher levels of care, easing the burden on WVMC. [2]
