CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga -- The provincial government of Pampanga has launched a new and improved health care program as part of its continuing efforts to provide better medical services to residents here.
Dubbed “Alagang Nanay: Health Care Delta,” the program was introduced to some 2,107 Nanay Community Workers (NCWs) during the “Empowering Women Through Involvement in Disaster Management: Orientation on Gender Meeting” at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center here Thursday.
Governor Dennis Pineda said the new health care program aims to provide a centralized medical service delivery network to all needy Kapampangans.
Patients wishing to avail the program need to ask the help of their barangay officials and other authorized officials like members from Nars ng Nayon, Municipal Health Office, and NCWs, or directly go to the Governor’s Office.
“The new health care system is not only confined to rural and district hospitals. Furthermore, the provincial government would also be responsible for endorsing and referring patients even in private hospitals where it has an existing memorandum of agreement (MOA),” the governor said.
At present, there are at least five private hospitals and four dialysis centers which already entered into an agreement with the provincial government.
The five private hospitals are Apalit Doctor’s Hospital Inc., Rosario Memorial Hospital, Dr. Amado L. Garcia Medical Center Inc., Floridablanca Doctor’s Hospital Inc., and Pampanga Medical Specialist Hospital.
The four dialysis centers, on the other hand, are Hope Dialysis Center, Toledano Medical Clinic and Dialysis Center, St. Theresa Dialysis Center, Inc., and St. Agustine Dialysis Center.
“These hospitals and dialysis centers shall extend complex medical treatment including surgical procedures, diagnostic and laboratory services to all beneficiaries of the Alagang Nanay: Health Care Delta,” he added. (PNA)
