IN PHOTOS I AFGH Strengthens Healing Environment Through Facility Enhancement
On 24 February 2026, the Air Force General Hospital (AFGH) formally conducted the blessing of its newly renovated facilities in a meaningful ceremony graced by Major General Antonio Z Francisco Jr PAF, Commander, Air Installation and Base Development Command (AIBDC). The distinguished guest was formally received by Colonel Jonathan B Rico MC (GSC), Commanding Officer, AFGH, together with hospital personnel who warmly welcomed his presence in support of this significant milestone for the institution.
The activity commenced with a Holy Mass, offering prayers of gratitude and guidance for the continued mission of the hospital and its personnel. This was followed by the blessing proper, symbolizing renewed purpose and dedication to service. The celebration was further enlivened by a welcoming dance performed by AFGH dancers, after which the ceremonial ribbon cutting formally marked the opening and turnover of the enhanced facilities.
In his message, MGen Francisco emphasized that while the organization continues to evolve and improve its infrastructure, equal importance must be given to caring for one’s health and well-being. The facility enhancements stand as a testament to AFGH’s enduring commitment to progressive, patient-centered healthcare service — ensuring that both patients and healthcare providers are supported by an environment conducive to healing, efficiency, and excellence.
