All 16 provincial and district hospitals in Cebu are set to boost their healthcare services as the Capitol rolls out newly purchased medical equipment and medicines, including portable suction units, ECG machines, blood bank refrigerators, digital X-ray machines, dental chairs with X-ray functions, and portable nebulizers.

Also included in the procurement are 10,000 vials of anti-rabies vaccine, which will be distributed to hospitals and treatment centers across the province.

“Katong mga guba na, or those hospitals that never had dental chairs, mao gyud to among gi-prioritize. For the ECG machines, all hospitals received two units each,” Catalan explained.
