Guico hails health summit; promotes “small family”
LINGAYEN— Binalonan Mayor Ramon Guico, national president of the League of Mayors of the Philippines (LMP), described the first Pangasinan Health Summit held recently as “a very timely” activity as the country needs health reforms.
He stressed that “providing the proper health care to our constituents lies solely on the LGUs using the FOURmula One for Health.”
The two-day activity was in support to the FOURmula One on Health, a roadmap for health reforms from the national down to local levels via effective service delivery, governance, financing and regulation.
In the same occasion, Guico also promoted to the mayors the LMP’s new program called “Kung Maliit ang Pamilya, Kayang-Kaya” which advocates the advantages of a “small-family set-up” in their localities.
“Having a small family is an advantage to the LGUs as we could effectively deliver quality health services and other basic services,” he said.
The summit’s theme “Good Governance Leads to Good Health, Good Health is Good Governance,” was intended to map out the health situation of the province and discuss strategic interventions needed to address gaps, align and synchronize priorities, and share good practices for replication.
The summit was organized by the provincial government with help from the Department of Health, United States Agency for International Development, and the European Commission.#
