To further strengthen and enhance the delivery of health services in Murcia, Mayor Gerry M. Rojas, supported by Vice Mayor Johnny Reosura and the Sangguniang Bayan members, turned over five brand new ambulances / patient transport vehicles to five more barangays last week.
“Since I assumed office as your mayor in 2019, one of my primary concerns has always been the health and welfare of Murciahanons. With the support of Vice-Mayor Johnny Reosura and all the Sanguniang Bayan Members, our administration has delivered numerous programs to boost health services to Murciahanons, including this distribution of ambulances to the barangays,” Rojas said in a press release.
“These barangay-based vehicles will ensure that our patients from the barangays can be transported more quickly and receive medical care at the Murcia Health Center. After receiving medical care at our Health Center, our patients can be brought back home by the same vehicle if they are already well, or sent aboard another ambulance to a hospital in Bacolod for more comprehensive medical care,” he explained.
The transport vehicles were turned over to barangays Blumentritt, Iglau-an, Minoyan, Pandanon and San Miguel.
In April last year, he distributed ambulances to Brgy. Lopez Jaeňa and Brgy. Cansilayan, followed by the distribution of ambulances to Brgy. Buenavista, Brgy. Sta. Rosa and Brgy. Alegria in July last year.*PR
