THE city government of Cagayan de Oro is moving toward a more integrated and coordinated health system across the city.
This, after the 21st City Council during its regular session presided over by Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez, enacted an ordinance institutionalizing the establishment and operationalization of the city-wide health system, including its management support system.
The measure seeks to strengthen the delivery of healthcare services across the city by establishing a coordinated system that connects health facilities, healthcare providers, programs, and services under a unified framework.
Through this, the city aims to ensure that residents have better access to appropriate, quality, and responsive healthcare services, particularly at the primary care level, while facilitating proper referral and continuity of care for patients requiring higher levels of medical attention.
The ordinance also provides for a management support system to help ensure effective planning, coordination, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of health programs and services within the city.
Councilor Paolo Nicolo Gaane, chair of the committee on health, is grateful with the passage of the said measure as it will greatly benefit residents by providing them with more accessible, coordinated, and responsive healthcare services. (๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐๐๐/๐บ๐ท)
