Nine super health centers for Pangasinan set
THE construction of more super health centers will soon provide quality health services to residents in rural areas in Pangasinan.
This was bared by Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go, who visited on Thursday the construction site of one of the super health centers at Barangay Bolaney in Alaminos City.
Alaminos City Mayor Arth Bryan Celeste said the center will greatly help not only those residing in the city but also other neighboring towns in Western Pangasinan because it will give them more convenient and accessible primary care services.
“Our super health complex po kasi namin ay located sa aming 1.7 hectare medical complex, so we’re not just talking about kung ano lang ‘yong maibibigay ng center dahil complementary na po lahat ng buildings na magkakatabi doon. This will greatly benefit not just the city of Alaminos but the entire first district of Pangasinan,” Celeste said.
Go said super health centers will also be built in Balungao, Basista, Manaoag, Mapandan, Tayug, Pozorrubio, Asingan, and Umingan.
“Super health center is a medium type of a polyclinic and improved version of rural health unit. Pwede po dyan ang dental, laboratory, X-ray, at iba pang serbisyo medikal na maaari nating mailapit sa ating mga kababayan,” Go said.
The centers will have the following services: laboratory facilities, pharmacy, birthing facilities, outpatient department, dental services, comprehensive PhilHealth outpatient department, and other minor services.
The establishment of the super health center, which is funded under the Health Facilities Enhancement Program, is initiated by Go to give priority to the needs of the public for convenient access to quality healthcare services. (PIA Pangasinan/EMSA)
