Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Teddy Herbosa recently joined the groundbreaking ceremony of another Super Health Center at Maypajo, Caloocan City.
“The President’s marching order is to make sure there are health services for every Filipino by establishing a super health center where 80–90% of diseases may be attended to,” Herbosa stressed.
The establishment of Super Health Centers in different parts of the country is the advocacy of the Senate Committee on Health Chairman, Senator Bong Go, which aims to make government medical services more accessible to Filipinos.
“This advocacy of Sen. Bong Go for building super Health Centers in every corner of the country is a big help so that the tertiary hospitals will be decongested.”
