A Super Health Center worth P10 million will soon rise in Barangay Pasig, Lambunao, Iloilo to serve remote villages.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the project was held on Friday, March 22. It was led by Senator Bong Go, chairperson of the Senate’s health committee.
The Super Health Center is a one-stop shop that offers “a comprehensive range of medical services, including database management, out-patient care, birthing, isolation, diagnostic (laboratory: x-ray and ultrasound), pharmacy, and ambulatory surgical units.”
“Malaking bagay po ito na mailapit natin ang serbisyo medikal sa ating mga kabababyan. Nabanggit ko po kanina, the more we should invest sa ating healthcare system. Mas mabuting handa tayo parati… na hindi tayo mabigla tulad ng dati lalo na nung panahon ng pandemya,” Go told IMT NEWS.
“Pwede po dyan ‘yung panganganak, dental laboratory, x-ray, minor cases, at early disease detection. Dyan na po gagawin, hindi kailangan magbyahe pa sa mga malayong ospital,” he further said.
Funded by the Department of Health (DOH), the Super Health Center is expected to serve 10 remote barangays in the town.
The construction of the center, which will be undertaken by KIT’Z Construction and Supply, is expected to be completed in July this year.
Also present during the ceremony were DOH-6 director Dr. Adriano Subaan, Mayor Reynor Gonzales, Vice Mayor Arvin Losaria, and Punong Barangay Divina Lemeric.IMT
