Residents of a village near a military camp here may start availing of comprehensive medical services as the Department of Health (DOH) and city government here opened the Cebu City Super Family Health Center on Monday.

Acting Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia said the center’s opening is part of the city’s commitment to improve healthcare by reducing congestion in publicly run hospitals.

Garcia cited the public-private partnership that led to the completion of the center that cost PHP13 million.

“I would like to call it a partnership, with DOH as the overseer,” Garcia said in a press conference on the sidelines of the center’s launch in Barangay Apas.

DOH-7 Director Dr. Jaime Bernadas said the center offers a full range of primary care, focusing mainly on disease prevention.

The new facility will focus on key health programs of the government like immunization, nutrition, disease prevention and prenatal care.

It is also equipped with an X-ray unit, ultrasound facility, pharmacy and supply room.

“The role of the DOH is for technical advisory, assistance, and regulations,” Bernadas said, adding that the city government will take care of the center’s operation. (PNA)
