NABUNTURAN, Compostela Valley - Close to 10,811 Comvaleños have
benefited the free health services of the Province of Compostela Valley through
the Provincial Health Office (PHO) in 2014.
With the aim of improving the health of Comvaleños by giving
free medical services, the PHO conducted several medical outreaches in the
entire province year round targeting locals in the barangays.
For the first quarter of 2014 alone, the province has rendered
free medical services such as free dental services, free consultations, free
laboratory tests, and free medicines and vitamins to 5,836 patients from the 11
municipalities of ComVal.
PHO Chief Dr. Renato Basañez said that part of the ongoing
preventive aspect of Health Services Delivery of the province is the
intensified Medical Health Outreach Program through the PHO which utilizes the
Hospital on Wheels (HOW) for the easy mobilization of the health workers
especially in going to remote areas.
Partners of the provincial government in rendering this program
are the Municipal LGUs and the Department of Health (DOH) through DOH Regional
Office XI. (james labrigas/ids-comval)
