The Department of Health – Davao Center for Health Development has received a Mobile Health and Wellness Services CaraVan from the Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. in a turn over ceremony at the Pinnacle Hotel here on Thursday.
The P3.8 million vehicle has a full-clinic set-up with a laboratory, consultation and examination area, and a comfort room. Yumang said the DOH will be installing additional medical equipment such as an X-ray machine and other testing apparatus to the vehicle. She said the mobile clinic will be a big help in reaching far-flung areas in the region that are most in need of community outreach programs and medical missions from the health sector.
“We have also procured a P14-million mobile clinic which is a bus. Because ‘yong concept ng mobile clinic that is being procured by the city will contain a minor operating room, laboratory, may ultrasound and chest X-ray machine. That is why when I heard about this turnover, I was so glad because I know, and I’m sure, this will be a big help, especially in the augmentation of our operations, especially on the field,” Lopez added.
