A broader look at today’s business
Bong Go advocates for improved working conditions and benefits for Barangay Health Workers as he attended BHW Cebu Summit
Go acknowledged the BHWs as the real heroes of the community, saying, “Kaya naman nais kong magpasalamat sa lahat ng mga Barangay Health Workers na narito ngayon. Kayo ang mga tunay na bayani ng ating komunidad. Araw-araw, inyong inilalaan ang inyong oras, lakas, upang siguruhing ang mga mamamayan ay ligtas at malusog.”
The Magna Carta for Barangays proposes that barangay officials, including the Punong Barangay, members of the Sangguniang Barangay, the Sangguniang Kabataan chairperson, the barangay secretary, and barangay treasurer, receive similar treatment as regular government employees. This means they would be eligible for salaries, benefits, and allowances, among other perks.
“Sila ang gumagamot agad, sila po ang frontline ng ating hangarin na mapanatiling malusog at walang sakit ang ating mga kababayan,” he added. He urged the public, particularly Cebuanos, to avail of medical and financial assistance from any of the Malasakit Centers located at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center, Cebu City Medical Center, and St. Anthony Mother & Child Hospital, all in Cebu City.
His second priority, Super Health Centers, are medium-sized polyclinics offering a range of services including childbirth, dental care, and laboratory tests. Go revealed plans to construct more than 600 Super Health Centers nationwide within two years, including 19 in Cebu.
