MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Bong Go, an adopted son of Calabarzon, attended the groundbreaking of the Super Health Center in Kawit, Cavite on Wednesday.
“Nais ko pong magpasalamat sa DOH (Department of Health) at sa lahat ng opisyales ng Kawit sa pagpapaunlak sa akin sa okasyon na ito. Bilang chairman ng Senate committee on health, nakakatuwa talaga kapag nasasaksihan ko ang groundbreaking ng mga Super Health Centers dahil importante sa atin na ilapit ang serbisyong medikal sa ating mga kababayan, lalo na sa mahihirap,” the senator said in his speech.
“Nais ko rin magpasalamat sa ating mga health workers na patuloy na nagsasakripisyo ng kanilang buhay para sa mga Pilipino,” he added.
Super Health Centers offer basic health services, including database management, outpatient, birthing, isolation, diagnostic, pharmacy and ambulatory surgical unit.
The centers also offer eye, ear, nose and throat service; physical therapy and rehabilitation, oncology and telemedicine.
Seven other Super Health Centers will rise in Cavite. These are in the cities of Bacoor, Dasmariñas, General Trias and Imus and the towns of Carmona, Magallanes and Tanza.
At least 307 Super Health Centers were funded last year through Go’s initiative. He also pushed for adequate funds to establish more centers under this year’s budget.
