GOVERNOR Dennis Pineda deployed seven doctors to different provincial and district hospitals after signing a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Department of Health (DOH).

This came after the Sangguniang Panlalawigan led by Vice-Governor Lilia “Nanay” G. Pineda passed a resolution authorizing the governor to enter and sign a MOA for the deployment of doctors.

“Ngayon pa lang, advise ko lang, malalim na pang-unawa. Nandito yung kapitolyo to support your patient. Tapos siguro marami pang tiyaga,” Vice-Governor Pineda advised the doctors during their courtesy call on her.

She also congratulated the doctors, who are about to get first-hand experience in rural areas.

Cesar Cassion, DOH regional director, said the program is aimed at bringing the health services closer to the constituents and at increasing the ability of the district hospitals to cater to the healthcare and medical needs.

“Ang kagandahan po sa Pampanga, priority po yung health. Mabilis po yung pakikipag-ugnayan sa Department of Health regarding sa deployment program at saka yung sa kabuuang programang pangkalusugan,” he said.

It can be recalled that 17 doctors recently completed their one-year deployment in different district hospitals.

The vice-governor is also planning to implement a preventive healthcare program in the first month of 2020. (PR)
