Officials from the provincial government on Tuesday led the inspection of the newly-constructed 112-square-meter floating clinic in Minalin town.
The P28 million facility is expected to provide primary healthcare services to remote and flood-prone areas in the province.
Vice Governor Lilia Pineda, Minalin Mayor Philip Naguit, and other officials visited the facility, funded by the provincial government.
The vice governor said the project "reflects the Capitol’s commitment to provide accessible, high-quality, and inclusive medical services to all Kapampangans."
The Provincial Health Office (PHO) said the clinic is equipped to serve up to 200 patients.
The health services include laboratory diagnostics such as X-ray and ultrasound, dental care, electrocardiogram (ECG), minor medical and surgical procedures, OB-Gyne consultations for prenatal and maternal care, and access to prescription and maintenance medicines through an on-board pharmacy.
To support its operations in isolated or waterlogged areas, the facility is also fitted with a dedicated sewage treatment system and a water pumping unit, ensuring sanitary and sustainable functionality.
