THE Department of Health (DOH) in Davao Region vowed to continue its universal health care programs with the High Impact Five (HI-5) Summit set at the Grand Ballroom Hotel at Apo View Hotel today, June 9.

Yasmin M. Avila, public information officer of the DOH-Davao, said the HI-5 will address maternal, infant health care and under five years old, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/Aids, and Service Delivery Network concerns.

The HI-5 responds to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) No. 4 - Reduce Child Mortality; No. 5 - Improve Maternal Health, and No. 6 - Combat HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases.

Avila said with this program, the National Government will strengthen the delivery of priority health services to Filipino families for the attainment of President Benigno Aquino III's promise of Kalusugan Pangkalahatan and the MDG.

"It will be a luncheon press conference. It's a new strategy of the DOH so magkakaroon kami ng summit today to address some concerns," Avila said.
