Go fetes Aklan’s newest Super Health Center

Senator Christopher "Bong" Go lauded the Department of Health and the local government of Nabas, Aklan for the successful groundbreaking of the town's Super Health Center in Barangay Poblacion on Friday, 1 September.

Super Health Centers are designed to focus on primary care, consultation, and early detection of diseases, further strengthening the healthcare sector in the country especially in rural communities.

It will also help decongest hospitals, according to Go who continues to advocate for its establishment in strategic areas across the country in coordination with the DoH.

The groundbreaking in Nabas town was attended by Congressman Ted "Nonong" Haresco, Vice Mayor James Solanoy, and Councilor Leovilyn dela Torre.

In a video message, Go, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, underscored the vital role of such facilities in bridging the gap between the government and the Filipino people, ensuring easy access to essential healthcare services.

He stressed the commitment of the government to bring healthcare closer to the people, alleviating the burden of traveling long distances to receive basic health services.

The Super Health Center will serve as a hub for various healthcare services, including database management, out-patient, birthing, isolation, diagnostic (laboratory: X-ray, ultrasound), pharmacy, and ambulatory surgical unit.

In another development, Go,an adopted son of Leyte, held a relief activity for displaced workers in Alang-alang town last Thursday, 24 August. In partnership with Mayor Lovely Yu, 457 beneficiaries were provided snacks and shirts from the senator at their municipal gymnasium.

Go also expressed his support to the Department of Labor and Employment's Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers program which benefitted the the qualified beneficiaries that day.
