Robredo hails PCSO for P25-M Naga hospital equipment donation

MANILA, Philippines — Naga City Mayor Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo, a former vice president, has lauded the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) for its donation of P25.1 million worth of diagnostic equipment to the Naga City General Hospital. The PCSO issued a statement on Friday highlighting the significant contribution of this donation. Mayor Robredo expressed profound gratitude, emphasizing that the donation goes beyond material provision and signifies PCSO's ongoing commitment to improving the health and well-being of the local community. The Naga City General Hospital is expected to enhance its diagnostic capabilities, leading to faster and more accurate medical assessments for patients. PCSO, funded by lottery revenues, actively supports healthcare institutions and social welfare facilities nationwide. Such contributions are crucial in bolstering local healthcare infrastructure, which plays a vital role in advancing universal healthcare and reducing medical disparities across the country. Access to medical resources in the Philippines often varies significantly by region, with many areas, particularly in rural settings, facing challenges in the quality and availability of healthcare services. Donations from public entities like PCSO are therefore indispensable for uplifting regional medical standards. Information Source: Inquirer NewsInfo
