00:00Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. led the turnover and sign-off ceremony of the new Philippines Mobile Clinics in Manila North Harbor Point in Tondo, Manila.
00:11First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa, Interior Secretary Benjamin Avalos Jr. and several officials of the government also attended.
00:22These are just a few of the government's steps for a healthier Philippines under the Universal Health Care Act.
00:29The mobile clinics will be distributed in 28 provinces in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, Soxergen, Karaga and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
00:41These mobile clinics are part of our extensive and long-term plan under the Health Sector Eight-Point Action Agenda.
00:52Through the mobile clinics and the help of the local government, we expect that the medical services will be brought closer to areas that need more attention for a long time.
01:06The geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas or what we call GIDA.
01:14The mobile clinics will be visited in various barangays in the province to provide free medical services including X-ray, ultrasound and blood screening.
01:24It also includes the basic equipment that can help in early diagnosis.
01:29The mobile clinics will also be used in times of medical mission, calamity and disaster.
01:34It is surprising that they are using all the equipment that is really needed for medical mission.
01:45Maybe now it is not a medical mission anymore because it is beyond the medical mission.
01:49Because mobile clinics include new equipment, the medical results will be good.
01:55The government also aims to have a medical record for each resident or patient.
02:02Many of our people, many of our countrymen still do not have a medical record.
02:07When they go to the hospital, the doctor and the staff of the hospital still look at them starting from square one.
02:19That is why this opportunity that this program is giving us is very good.
02:25President Marcos Jr. thanked First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos for her Love for All project.
02:31Liza has a project called Love for All.
02:36They are bringing it to each province.
02:39Liza, I have nothing else to say.
02:42Just continue what you are doing.
02:44What you are doing is a big help to our healthcare.
02:48Today, 14 of the 28 mobile clinics will be brought to General Santos.
02:53The remaining units will be brought to the provinces tomorrow.
02:58Because of this, mobile clinics were able to bring all of the provinces from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
