CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, PAMPANGA – Vice Governor Lilia ‘Nanay’ G. Pineda and the Department of Health Region III (DOH-R3) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the deployment of seven doctors to different district and provincial hospitals run by the provincial government.
This was done after their courtesy call at the Vice-Governor’s Office, Capitol Compound, Barangay Sto. Nino, here.
“Ngayon pa lang, advise ko lang, malalim na pang-unawa. Nandito yung kapitolyo to support your patient. Tapos siguro marami pang tiyaga,” Vice-Governor Pineda stressed.
She also congratulated the doctors, who are about to get first-hand experience on the real sacrifices of doctors in rural areas.
According to Cesar Cassion, DOH-R3 regional director, the program is aimed at bringing the health services closer to the constituents and at increasing the ability of the district hospitals to cater the healthcare and medical needs.
“Ang kagandahan po sa Pampanga, priority po yung health. Mabilis po yung pakikipag-ugnayan sa Department of Health regarding sa Deployment Program tsaka yung sa kabuuang programang pangkalusugan”, he said.
It can be recalled that seventeen doctors were conferred during the flag-raising ceremony on Monday as they completed their one-year deployment in different district hospitals.
Moreover, the Vice-Governor is also planning to implement a preventive healthcare program in the first month of 2020.
