The administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. committed on Thursday to further develop the healthcare system in Romblon.
In a speech delivered by Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos, President Marcos said the Department of Health (DOH) is closely working with local officials to modernize healthcare facilities in the province.
He said the DOH and local government officials are collaborating to hire more medical professionals, specialists and healthcare workers.
“Sa katunayan, noong nakaraang Abril, na-ipagkaloob [na namin] ang isang Super Health Center sa bayan ng Magdiwang sa Sibuyan Island,” President Marcos said.
The Chief Executive was referring to the PhP846 million used for the Health Facilities Enhancement Program of the government, which covers 134 health facility projects in the Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan (MIMAROPA) region.
The government also disbursed PhP2.37 million for the medical, nursing, dental and nutrition services for learners as well as teaching and non-teaching staff from seven school divisions in the region.
“Umaasa kaming higit na malilinang pa ninyo ang mga hatid naming tulong upang mapagyayaman pa ninyo ang inyong lalawigan,” President Marcos said.
The Marcos Administration, represented by Secretary Abalos, led on Thursday the distribution of PhP262.453 million in financial assistance and other services to El Niño-hit farmers and fisherfolk in Romblon. PND
