Sorsogon Malasakit Center opens
MANILA, Philippines — The 74th Malasakit Center was launched Wednesday at the Dr. Fernando B. Duran Sr. Memorial Hospital, formerly Sorsogon Provincial Hospital, in Sorsogon City.
Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go, who attended the inauguration of the center through a video conference, reiterated his commitment as chairman of the Senate committee on health and demography to push for better healthcare services and easy access to medical and financial assistance across the country.
“Napaka-importante po ng health care lalo na ngayon na may pandemya na dulot ng COVID-19. Kaya patuloy po ang ating trabaho upang mas mapaganda ang healthcare services sa kahit saan mang parte ng bansa at mas matulungan ang ating mga kababayan na nangangailangan ng pangpagamot,” Go said.
“Itong Malasakit Center po ay isang one-stop shop kung saan nandun na ang mga ahensya ng gobyerno na may mga programang medical assistance. Pera ninyo po ito, ibinabalik lang sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng mabilis, maayos at maaasahang serbisyong medikal,” he added.
The Malasakit Center in Sorsogon is the third in Bicol and 36th in Luzon.
It is the third branch to open this week after the Romblon Provincial Hospital in Odiongan and Aurora Memorial Hospital in Baler, Aurora.
Go said more centers would be launched in the coming months.
