This was announced recently by DOH-Calabarzon Regional Director Dr. Eduardo Janairo who added that the 10 brand new emergency vehicles are part and parcel of the 98 units that the region’s DOH-Health Facility Enhancement Program (HFEP) is trying to achieve.

“This project will help a lot of our kababayans kasi marami ang mga pasyente na namamatay sa aksidente sa kalsada, sa biglang atake sa puso habang nasa bahay kasama na dito ang mga may malubhang sakit dahil walang ambulansya sa kanilang lugar para sila ay mapuntahan agad at mabigyan ng first aid at magdadala sa kanila sa pinakamalapit na ospital,” Janairo said during the turnover rites.

“Mas madali tayong makapagliligtas ng buhay kung kumpleto ang mga kagamitan at mga serbisyong pangkalusugan sa ating mga pampublikong ospital at pasilidad lalo na sa mga nasa malalayong lugar sa mga probinsya. Lahat ng ito ay isasaayos natin at palalakakasin ang ating mga primary health care facilities para matugunan ang mga pangangailangang pangkalusugan ng ating mga kababayan,” the regional director added.
