THE Tagbilaran City Government, under the leadership of Mayor Jane Yap, took another step in enhancing community healthcare by distributing computer sets, printers, and nebulizers to all 17 Barangay Health Stations in a ceremonial turnover held on November 18, 2024, at the City Hall Atrium.
Mayor Yap, alongside City Health Officer Dr. Jeia Pondoc, personally handed over the essential equipment to the Barangay Captains, Kagawads, and health station personnel.
The initiative covers all 15 barangays in the city, with Barangays Cogon and Poblacion 2 receiving additional units for their two health stations.
The provision of computers and printers aims to improve real-time reporting and streamline operations at the barangay level.
Mayor Yap underscored the importance of these tools in modernizing local healthcare. “These computers will enable real-time reporting, facilitate consultations at the barangay level, and make the referral process more efficient. Preparing reports will also be easier and faster for our health workers,” she stated.
This latest initiative highlights the city government’s commitment to grassroots healthcare, ensuring that essential services reach the community efficiently.
By empowering barangay health workers with modern tools and equipment, Tagbilaran City continues to set a benchmark for prioritizing health and well-being.
