Sen. Bong Go virtually witnessed the groundbreaking of the Super Health Center in Alangalang, Leyte on 4 October.

During the event, he expressed his commitment to improving Filipinos' access to high-quality healthcare services and constructing more public health facilities.

In his video message, Go, who chairs the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, voiced his belief that the development of more Super Health Centers across the country will enable the government to assist more underprivileged Filipinos, particularly those living in rural areas.

"Layunin po ng mga centers na ito na mas ilapit pa sa ating mga kababayan ang mga serbisyong medikal ng gobyerno, lalo na sa mga nasa liblib na lugar at pinaka nangangailangan ng mga ito," explained Go.

"Sa pamamagitan nito, hindi na nila kailangang pumunta sa mga malalaking ospital na kadalasan ay nasa mga syudad kung wala namang malalang sakit," he added.

The Super Health Center, according to Go, is an upgraded version of the rural health unit. It will have a pharmacy, birthing rooms, out-patient department, dental services, and other minor services in addition to laboratory facilities, minor operating and emergency rooms, and other services.
