JARO, Leyte – The Leyte Second District Engineering Office (L2DEO) of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is constructing a multi-purpose building intended to be used as an infirmary health facility in Barangay Caglawaan, this town.
The said facility has a total floor area of 810 square meters and with a total budget allocation of P19.73 million featuring concrete footings, columns, and beams as well of hollow block walls, steel frame roofing, storm drainage, and sewer.

Once completed and utilized, the said facility can offer services to help address health concerns, and the community can avail itself of medical treatment and diagnosis from the trained healthcare professionals.
