The Department of Health-9, Office of Senator Christopher ‘Bong’ Go and the Office of District II Representative and Majority Leader Mannix Dalipe together with Mayor John Dalipe Thursday morning unveil the P13.4M Super Health Center in Sangali.
Aimed to enhance health care services through primary care, consultation and early detection, the facility comes with medical equipment worth P1.5M. The super health center sits in an area of 589-square meter property owned by the city government.
