MANILA, Dec. 19 (PNA) -- Health Secretary Paulyn Jean Rosell-Ubial graced the inauguration of the first-ever computerized tomography (CT) scan machine provided by the Department of Health to the Maguindanao provincial hospital in Shariff Aguak last December 17.
”It is brand new! It is the first (CT scan machine) in Maguindanao and the ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao)," Ubial said.
Aside from Maguindanao, the CT scan facility can also accommodate patients from nearby provinces, such as South Cotabato, North Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, and Sarangani.
”The CT scanner is needed here in the province. Patients in Maguindanao who usually go to Cotabato and GenSan (General Santos City) will no longer need to travel too far for CT scan check-ups,” Ubial said.
According to the health chief, this initiative is in line with President Rodrigo Duterte’s agenda of strengthening the operational capabilities of government hospitals and health facilities.
