DAGUPAN CITY – Speaker Joe de Venecia promised a free and accessible health care program for the fourth district, and the initial delivery of this promise was made last week.

The Speaker Joe de Venecia Mobile Clinic made its inaugural visit to Barangay Bonuan Gueset in Dagupan City with a free medical mission for two days in cooperation with the Regional Medical Center led by its director, Dr. Jesus Canto.

Launched last Tuesday, the Mobile Clinic, is a big air-conditioned Isuzu van with an ultra-modern Mobile Diagnostic, X-Ray and Dental Clinic. It is equipped with its own generator, water supply, an examination room, an oxygen tank, nebulizer, and an X-ray machine with its own film developing tank.

It has the capability to conduct practically all diagnostic, X-ray and dental services. It can also perform an ECG examination, ultra sound examination, all kinds of minor surgeries like circumcision, blood testing, eye-care services, asthma treatment, and many others. It also carries an inventory of medicines and medical supplies.

The Mobile Clinic has four rooms:  a Treatment Room for medical examination, a Medical Laboratory Area with fixed working table and sink, a Diagnostic Room for X-ray examinations with a dark room for film developing and a fully-furnished Dental Room with a hydraulic dental chair and air compressor.

De Venecia said it is the first delivery of five Mobile Clinics that will be assigned to each of the four towns and one city in the fourth district to regularly conduct free medical services to the public.

Providing free health care to his constituents is one of the priority programs Speaker de Venecia has listed for the district.  Earlier, he directed the modernization of equipment in local government hospitals and distributed subsidized Philhealth cards to his constituents. — EVA
