The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has donated three ultrasound machines worth P22 million to hospitals in Pampanga under its Medical Equipment Donation Program. PCSO General Manager Mel Robles, along with directors Imelda Papin and Jennifer Guevara, turned over the machines to Vice Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda on February 19 at Diosdado P. Macapagal Memorial Hospital in Guagua. The other beneficiaries include Romana Pangan District Hospital in Floridablanca and Escolastica Romero District Hospital in Lubao.
Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda welcomed the donation, highlighting its impact on the province’s healthcare services. He said the new equipment would strengthen the Alagang Nanay Preventive Health Care Program by improving diagnostic capabilities in public hospitals. “This will enhance our efforts in providing quality and accessible healthcare to Kapampangans,” Pineda said.
The donation is part of PCSO’s ongoing efforts to support public hospitals and enhance medical services across the country. Local officials expressed gratitude for the assistance, noting that the new ultrasound machines would help provide better and faster diagnoses for patients in Pampanga.
