The health reform program for Pangasinan
visualized by Governor Ramon “Monmon” Guico is expected to be bolstered with
international collaborations.
This after Pangasinan contingents composed of various department officials and medical experts of the provincial government led by Provincial Administrator (P.A) Melicio F. Patague II conferred with officers and administrators of the Stanford Hospital during a two-day official visit that started on November 7 in California, USA.
“We are dreaming of international collaboration for the improvement of the healthcare system in the province,” PA Patague said.
The meeting, organized by the United Pangasinanes in America, is part of the
province’s benchmarking activities, which included educational discussions with
the Urban Planning Council of Daly City, California.
Under Gov. Guico’s stewardship, the
province’s health program was improved not just in terms of hospital facilities
and equipment but with the technical know-how of the province’s healthcare
providers.
Recently, the provincial government
launched the GUICOnsulta project with an initial fund of P300 million.
Governor Guico is committed to
fulfilling his goal of enrolling the whole Pangasinan population and make the
province a haven for the healthiest populace.
As an added assistance, the
provincial government has started granting cash incentives to residents who
will avail of the program.
“Wala
ng dahilan para hindi tayo magpa-check up for the preventive health care
program of the province dahil dalhin niyo lang po sila sa mga ospital natin at
sa mga barangay health station o mga RHU ng mga munisipyo at siyudad, bibigyan
po namin sila ng pangkain at ng kanilang pamasahe. Hindi na po dahilan na hindi
kami pwedeng magpa-check up dahil wala akong pamasahe at wala kaming pangkain,”
Gov. Guico said. (Ruby F. Rayat/PIMRO)
