The Provincial Government of Albay has turned over three (3) new ambulances to three district hospitals in the province last July 29.
The ambulances were received by Dr. Lorenzo P. Ziga Memorial District Hospital, Pio Duran Memorial District Hospital, and Pantao District Hospital, which all extended their appreciation for being one of the beneficiaries.
According to Dr. Loreto Capellan, Chief of Hospital of Pantao District Hospital, considering that their hospital is far, the additional ambulance could help provide faster assistance to their patients.
“Medyo malayo ang Pantao, inaabot kami ng apat na oras pagbyahe ng pasyente, kaya ang additional na ambulance makatatabang na maray ta kung may kaipuhan kaming ihatod na pasyente na nagkasabay, minsan kaya duwa o tulong pasyente ang tig-aatod mi, dae na kami maalat nin apat na oras para maiatod giraray ang sarong pasyente”, said Dr. Capellan.
Present in the turnover are the different head departments from PGA, including PHO, PPDO, PGSO, CIAO, and PTO.
