Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr. on Wednesday led the blessing and inauguration of two primary care facilities in Barangays Tabun, and Cutud, bringing to 10 the total of primary care centers in the city.
Lazatin said with the opening of four additional primary care facilities this month, the city government moved closer to its goal of providing the ideal number of primary health care units for the city residents.
Five more primary health care units in Barangays Pulungbulu, Anunas, Capaya, Amsic, and Balibago are also set to be launched soon, adding to the existing ones in Barangays Pandan, Sto. Domingo, Lourdes Northwest, Lourdes Sur East, Balibago, Pulung Cacutud, Tabun, Malabanias, Pulung Maragul, and Cutud.
“In 2023, we initiated the construction of nine primary care facilities,” Lazatin said.
When Lazatin took office in 2019, the city government only had six rural health units.
