SAN JOSE, Antique (PIA) — Antiqueños, especially in far-flung areas, will soon enjoy the basic public health services being offered by the “Bagong Pilipinas” mobile clinic.
Recently, the provincial government received from the Department of Health (DOH) its brand-new “Bagong Pilipinas” mobile clinic unit.
Equipped with top-of-the-line medical apparatus and equipment, the mobile clinic forms part of the LAB FOR ALL project, or “Laboratoryo, Konsulta at Gamot para sa Lahat,” of First Lady Liza Marcos.
This effort is aligned with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s vision of bringing medical services to the people.
Particularly, the mobile clinic is designed to reach geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs) in the province.
A typical Bagong Pilipinas mobile clinic is equipped with an ultrasound examination light, reagent refrigerator, binocular microscope and stethoscope, ophthalmoscope, clinical centrifuge, hematocrit centrifuge, hematology analyzer, handheld electrolyte analyzer, and a telemedicine set.
Governor Rhodora J. Cadiao, Provincial Health Officer Ric Noel Naciongayo, and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Undersecretary Jonathan Tan received the mobile clinic in a turnover ceremony on August 19.
Gov. Cadiao thanked FL Liza, President Marcos, and the DOH for their continued commitment to securing the health of Antiqueños and all Filipinos across the country. (AGP/BPS/PIA Antique)
