SEN. Bong Go renewed his call on the government to bring basic medical services closer to communities as he inspected a new Super Health Center (SHC) site in Negros Occidental.
The senator also helped poor residents when he visited Moises Padilla town in Negros Occidental on Saturday.
“A lot of people thanked me because they received help from the programs that I initiated. But please don’t thank me. I should be the one who should thank you because you gave me the chance to be of service to you,” Go said in Filipino.
He said health facilities such as SHCs which he initiated to further improve health care access in remote areas is part of his commitment to public health.
He said the SHCs help decongest hospitals and make primary healthcare services readily available in underserved communities.
