Senator Christopher “Bong” Go is set to visit Himamaylan City tomorrow, March 23, to inspect the ongoing construction of a super health center and join the orientation of over 500 DOLE Tupad beneficiaries.
Go, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health, highlighted the construction of 31 super health centers in Negros Occidental for 2022-2024, and one of which is being constructed in Brgy. Talaban, Himamaylan City.
“There will be two health centers that will rise in 6108 (area code of the city), the first of which will soon cater to the needs of Himamaylanons,” Mayor Raymund Tongson said in a press release.
Tongson said the city’s new super health center in Brgy. Talaban is 77 percent completed. It has multiple health facilities in one complex, including a new x-ray facility.
The construction of consolidated medical services hubs is part of the Health Facilities Enhancement Program of the Department of Health.
The other super health centers soon to be finished are in Cauayan town, and the cities of Bacolod, Bago, Cadiz, Escalante, San Carlos, Silay, Talisay, and Victorias.
Go, meanwhile, will also attend the orientation of over 500 beneficiaries of the flagship Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program of the Department of Labor and Employment at the Himamaylan City Hall.
He will also join Tongson and city officials in the blessing and inauguration of the newly-constructed Talaban Bridge.
