PROFILE OF THE AGENCY

HISTORY
The realization of a long-awaited hospital in Tabuk City dawned in April 1970. The

Budget Commission and Department released the amount of 80,000.00 Pesos from trust funds

given to the Provincial Treasurer for the proposed Tabuk Emergency Hospital. Then the

Governor Amado B. Almazan of Kalinga Province sought Dr. Laureano T. Rigor, an able private

practitioner of Tabuk at that time to assist in the formation of a new hospital. A 25-bed

emergency hospital with a complement of 15 staff was prepared. The Department of Health

approved the proposed budget on May 1970.

On June 26, 1970, Dr. Rigor and the first hospital employees formally opened hospital

services to the public with the support and assistance of the Tabuk Municipal Officials and civic

spirited citizens. The hospital was housed in a small annex building of the Tabuk Municipal Hall,

now the site of the City Environment and Natural Resources Office. The new hospital used the

equipment, instruments, and other supplies taken from the private clinic of Dr. Rigor until such

time that the hospital was able to produce its own. Dr. Rigor holds the distinction of being the

first Chief of Hospital and a recipient of the “Most Outstanding Chief of Hospital” award in the

years that followed.

Due to the increasing demand and need to expand hospital services, Dr. Rigor requested

from Governor Almazan for a new hospital site. The Provincial Board approved the donation of

a 4-hectare lot in Bulanao, Tabuk formerly occupied by the Regional Constabulary Command.

On this site, two new buildings were constructed for a 75-bed hospital from 1973 to 1974. On

May 1974, the hospital transferred to its new home Bulanao, Tabuk, Kalinga.

The following year additional buildings were constructed and the hospital earned the

status of a 100-bed hospital. It was renamed Kalinga-Apayao Provincial Hospital under the

Department of Health.

In 1983, by virtue of Presidential Executive Order 51, then the Ministry of Health was

reorganized by integrating hospital care delivery into its field operations. The Provincial Hospital

became component of the Integrated Provincial Health Office. The IPHO was housed in the

Provincial Hospital and Dr. Evaristo Taguiba became the first Provincial Health Officer of the

IPHO while Dr. Rigor was Assistant Provincial Health Officer.

In 1991, R.A. 7160 otherwise known as the Local Government Code was enacted. The

Provincial Hospital and the other District Hospital of the province were devolved to the

Provincial Government of Kalinga-Apayao while the Rural Health Units were devolved to the

Municipal Government. The Technical Services of the former IPHO was retained in the

organizational set up of the hospital. The IPHO was renamed Office on Health Services. On

February 14, 1996, R.A. 7878 was assigned into law, converting the sub-provinces of Kalinga

and Apayao into two separate provinces, the hospital was renamed Kalinga Provincial Hospital

as a component of the Office on Health Services under the new province of Kalinga. The Office

on Health Services is composed of the Provincial Health Office with its Technical Staff, Kalinga

Provincial Hospital, 4 District Hospitals and 1 Municipal Hospital.
