These projects and construction of facilities will be implemented in the following municipalities; Calanasan Rural Health Unit (RHU) – PhP6 Million budget for infrastructure, conner RHU – PhP2 Million budget for infrastructure, Luna RHU – PhP2 Million budget for infrastructure and PhP2.5 million for motor vehicle, Pudtol RHU – PhP6 Million budget for infrastructure and PhP1.5 million for medical equipment and Santa Marcela RHU – PhP2 Million budget for infrastructure
Upgrading infrastructure and medical equipment in RHUs helps to bridge existing gaps in healthcare delivery and ensure that access to high-quality healthcare and is recognized as a fundamental right rather than a privilege.
Furthermore, considering the growing number of tourists coming to the province, where most prefer risky adventures, these projects and facilities are crucial in case unavoidable accidents which require immediate medical attention occur.
