Anakalusugan Party-list continues to push for improved access to better health services in Indigenous Peoples communities and geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA).
Anakalusugan Party-list Rep. Ray T. Reyes said even after the implementation of the Universal Healthcare Act, providing healthcare services to indigenous people’s communities remains a challenge because they live in remote areas.
“Medical services should be accessible, and we will continue to push for programs and legislation that would allocate more funds to bring health services closer to the people, especially our indigenous communities,” Reyes said.
Reyes said Anakalusugan Party-list will continue to bring health and social services closer to indigenous people’s communities.
“The healthcare needs of our indigenous people’s communities should not be neglected, and the services provided by the government should reach them no matter where they are situated,” he added.
Reyes said Anakalusugan Party-list will continue to bring health and social services closer to indigenous people’s communities.
Most recently, he said the party-list group led medical missions for Indigenous People’s communities in San Jose Del Monte, for the Dumagat Tribe in Don Remedios Trinidad, and the Mangyans in Mindoro.
Apart from this, the lawmaker said the party-list continues to bring health and social services to different communities in need.
According to him, in the past year, the party-list led vaccination drives in Bauan, Laurel, Balete, Sta. Teresita, Malvar, and Nasugbu in the province of Batangas.
They also led medical and dental missions in Norzagaray, Angat, San Juan del Monte, and Sta. Maria, in the province of Bulacan; in Hamtic, Bugasong, Pandan, Valderrama, Patnongon, San Remigio, Sibalom, and Anini-y in the province of Antique; and Lobo, Bauan, and Tingloy in the province of Batangas.
Likewise, they led feeding programs in the provinces of Bulacan and Romblon.
