Senator Christopher “Bong” Go is set to visit Himamaylan City today, to inspect the ongoing construction of the Super Health Center and join the orientation of over 500 DOLE Tupad beneficiaries, a press release from Himamaylan PIO said.
Senator Go highlighted the construction of 31 Super Health Centers in Negros Occidental for the year 2022 to 2024, one of which will be in Brgy. Talaban, Himamaylan City.
“There will be two health centers that will rise in 6108 (area code of the city), the first of which will soon cater to the needs of Himamaylanons,” said Himamaylan Mayor Raymund Tongson.
Tongson said at the city’s new Super Health Center in Brgy. Talaban, 77 percent of the infrastructure has been completed, which will contain multiple health facilities in one complex. A new x-ray facility will also be put up.
