Okada Foundation Inc. (OFI) is helping build a healthier Naga City by donating P135 million worth of medical equipment, a customized mobile clinic, and a garbage truck compactor for sanitation.
The fund, which was formally turned over by OFI president James Lorenzana to Mayor Leni Robredo on 27 July, will help improve the services of Naga City General Hospital, City Health Offices I and II (CHOs), and Our Lady of Lourdes Infirmary.
The hospital was equipped with specialized diagnostic, surgical, maternal care and critical care equipment, including a tissue processor, centralized electronic fetal monitor, 2D echocardiography system, anesthesia machine, arterial blood gas analyzer, cardiotocography machine, infusion pumps, and other specialized equipment that enhance hospital-based patient care.
A customized mobile clinic allows CHOs to respond more effectively to the everyday healthcare needs of residents.
The CHOs and the infirmary received hematology and chemistry analyzers, portable X-ray units, ECG machines, microscopes, pharmacy refrigerators, sterilizers, centrifuges, fetal Dopplers, and other equipment that support routine laboratory testing and primary care.
CHO I will now be better equipped to serve around 100 patients daily, and the infirmary’s 50 to 60 patients daily.
The garbage truck compactor will help strengthen sanitation efforts and keep neighborhoods cleaner and healthier.
“A strong public health system begins with giving healthcare professionals the resources they need to care for their communities. We hope these donations help strengthen healthcare services across Naga City and make a meaningful difference in the lives of the families who rely on them every day,” OFI president James Lorenzana said.
“This is a meaningful partnership for Naga City because it strengthens the work our healthcare institutions do every day. With these additional resources, we can better support our healthcare workers and provide quality care to more residents across our communities,” Robredo said.
