FIRST Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos turned over the “Bagong Pilipinas” mobile clinics to provincial governors in Central Luzon, as part of her program to bring better healthcare to the people in far flung areas.
The First Lady said 82 brand new modern mobile clinics, equipped with medical equipment, including X-Ray, CT-Scan, Ultrasound, and blood screening facilities will play a crucial role in providing preventive health services directly to communities.
The distribution of the state-of-the-art mobile units comes ahead of the State of the Nation Address (Sona) of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday, July 22.
The first lady also announced that by 2025, in cooperation with the Department of Health (DOH), will turn over mobile clinics to 1,500 municipalities nationwide.
"Through this, my husband wants to bring health services closer to the people,” she explained before the governors signed the deeds of donation.
The mobile clinics were “inspired” by the First Lady’s “Lab For All,” a health and social program in communities which will “enhance accessibility, improve health outcomes, strengthen local health programs.”
So far, fourteen provinces in Northern Luzon have already received the Bagong Pilipinas Mobile Clinics, which includes Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Abra, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Apayao, Cagayan, Quirino, Isabela, and Nueva Vizcaya.
Bagong Pilipinas Mobile Clinics are fully equipped for medical, diagnostic, and referral services to bring health care to geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.
