PINANGUNAHAN ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., araw ng Martes ang turnover ceremony ng check donations na nagkakahalaga ng P520 million, na magsisilbing pondo para sa mas maraming medical projects para sa mga Filipino.
Sa naging talumpati ng Pangulo sa inagurasyon ng Bagong Urgent Care and Ambulatory Service Center (BUCAS), batid ng Chief Executive na ang Philippine Heart Center (PHC) ay matagal ng simbolo ng pag-asa at kahusayan sa healthcare.
“So, despite the challenges, you continue to persevere and to innovate, showing both passion and compassion. This is the reason why we granted the PHC 200.5 million pesos that it can use to fund more projects that will benefit the Filipino people,” ayon sa Pangulo.
Ang PHC ay itinatag noong 1975 sa ilalim ng Presidential Decree No. 673.
“It was my father’s vision to create a place where top-notch medical care was delivered with dignity and with compassion. It was my mother’s driving force behind the specialty centers in the country,” ang sinabi ng Pangulo.
Winika pa nito na sa nakalipas na taon, nananatiling matatag ang PHC sa commitment na sumagip ng buhay at pagaanin ang pagdurusa ng mga tao na may cardiovascular diseases.
“Today, we honor that vision as we expand it. With 31 BUCAS Centers nationwide as of September this year, we are not just keeping that promise within the walls of one building but we are spreading it to various places around the country. We are ready to respond, ready to care wherever and whenever needed,” ang tinuran ng Punong Ehekutibo.
Sa kabilang dako, sa naging talumpati pa rin ng Pangulo, binigyang-diin nito ang pananaw ng kanyang administrasyon ng hinaharap ng “every Filipino, no matter where they live, has access to the urgent care that they need. A future where our healthcare system is proactive, not just reactive.”
“That future was made more possible by the PHC’s Education, Training and Research Simulation Facility, which is a first in the Philippines. It mimics realistic clinical scenarios for teaching and learning, allowing for better training for our healthcare workers,” aniya pa rin.
Nagsagawa rin ng inspeksyon ang Pangulo sa Education, Training, and Research Services (ETRS) Simulation Facility, araw ng Martes.
” This state-of-the-art learning environment, the first of its kind in the Philippines, is designed to provide trainees and mentors with hands-on, experiential learning. It integrates advanced simulation tools, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and interactive environments that mimic realistic clinical scenarios for teaching and learning,” ayon sa ulat.
Samantala, nagkaloob din ang Pangulo ng P185.2 million sa Lung Center of the Philippines at P134 million sa National Kidney and Transplant Institute.
“These grants aim to further their excellence in disease prevention, diagnostics, and treatments that is the record of those specialty hospitals,” aniya pa rin.
Ang donasyon mula sa Office of the President (OP) ay gagamiting pondo para sa procurement ng mahahalagang medical equipment, kasabay ng pagsasa-ayos sa medical services para sa benepisyo ng mga pasyente. Kris Jose
