Press Release - "Ilalapit natin ang serbisyo ng gobyerno sa mga Pilipino" -- Bong Go inspects new Super Health Center, provides aid to more than a thousand indigents in San Isidro, Davao Oriental

On Thursday, August 1, Senator Christopher "Bong" Go reaffirmed his dedication to improving healthcare accessibility by visiting a newly established Super Health Center in San Isidro, Davao Oriental.

During the turnover of the Super Health Center in Barangay Bato-Bato, Senator Go met with local leaders and community members, evaluated the facility's capabilities, and provided various types of assistance, including food packs to the barangay health workers there.

"Ang ating layunin ay malinaw - siguraduhin na ang bawat Pilipino, lalo na sa mga liblib na lugar, ay may access sa dekalidad na serbisyong medikal," Senator Go stated.

Through the efforts of Senator Go as Chairperson of the Senate Health Committee and Vice Chairperson of the Senate Finance Committee, in collaboration with fellow legislators, the Department of Health led by Secretary Teodoro "Ted" Herbosa, and various local government units, substantial funding has been allocated to establish over 700 Super Health Centers across the country, with 14 located in Davao Oriental.

"Patuloy po akong tutulong sa pagpaparami ng Super Health Centers sa bansa sa abot po ng aking makakaya. Sa mga itinayong Super Health Centers, nakita namin kung gaano kalaki ang naitutulong nito sa komunidad lalo na sa rural areas. 'Yun po ang layunin ng mga Super Health Centers, ang ilapit sa mamamayan ang serbisyong medikal ng gobyerno," he added.

The push for the Super Health Centers was initiated by Senator Go before the start of the Marcos administration, setting the foundation for the subsequent expansion of these facilities under the current leadership.

Following the Super Health Center turnover, Senator Go then proceeded to the municipal gym where he and his Malasakit Team distributed aid to more than a thousand indigent residents in the town.

"Basta't para sa kapakanan ng mahihirap na Pilipino at tiyak na mapapakinabangan ng mga nangangailangan, patuloy akong susuporta sa mga pro-poor programs ng gobyerno tungo sa ating iisang hangarin na sana'y walang maiwan at walang magutom na Pilipino," Senator Go said.

Senator Go also commended the local government of San Isidro, including Mayor Angel Go, Board Members Rotchie Ravelo,
