ZAMBALES, Philippines – The provincial government of Zambales further beefed up its medical and health programs with the donations of three brand new ambulances and three new incubators recently. | |||
Governor Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. said the new medical equipments will boost the provincial government’s health and medical services to the barangay. | |||
This as the province is finalizing the mobile clinic program in order to reach out to as many residents as they can, he said. | |||
“A bus to be outfitted as a mobile clinic and equipped with a portable X-ray machine and maybe an ultrasound machine, is our next project in our agenda to establish better health and medical services in our province,” he added. | |||
The new ambulance, donated by RP Energy during its medical caravan project last week, has brought the total number of medical emergency vehicles here to seven. | |||
The governor was able to source out donations of four brand-new ambulances in November last year, while two other brand-new units were donated by friends in January. | |||
“After introducing these necessary improvements to our health care system, we should now proceed to the next logical step of carrying out a mobile clinic program to pursue our goal of providing efficient and effective health services to every Zambaleño,” Ebdane added. | |||
On top of its donation, RP Energy, which is the proponent of the 600MW coal power plant in Subic Bay Freeport, also gave 50 wheelchairs and 80 nebulizers. | |||
The health caravan, according to RP Energy representative Grant Smith, was initiated as part of the firm’s corporate social responsibility program. | |||
“We are launching this program in line with the provincial government’s thrust to establish a broader and more effective health service system in the province,” Smith said. | |||
“We hope that as we take a more holistic approach to conducting our business operations, we can make use of empowering technologies, our leadership, and our access to resources, to create innovative solutions to address bigger challenges,” he added. | |||
