Christmas came early to the Tarlaquenos as Widus Foundation Inc. (WFI) gives Bamban a big health boost by upgrading two of its Rural Health Units.
Widus Foundation Executive Director Neki Liwanag together with Mayor Jose Antonio Feliciano led the official turnover of the newly rehabilitated P2.2-M Rural Health Units (RHU) held at the Dapdap Resettlement Area.
Liwanag, who recognizes the medical challenges in Bamban and its neighboring towns which were heightened during this pandemic, hopes that the foundation’s efforts could help improve the efficiency and quality of health services being given to the public especially to the indigent families of the community.
“Even during these trying times, Widus believes that basic and quality healthcare should be accessible to all regardless of financial and social status. We in WFI, will continue to work with the LGUs and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation in improving the general public’s access to primary healthcare services, especially now that the all-inclusive Universal Health Care (UHC) law is in place,” Liwanag said.
For his part, Bamban Mayor Feliciano gladly expressed his assurance and enthusiasm in providing better health services to the community through the donations given by WFI partnered with the support of the local government.
“We are very thankful to Widus Foundation Inc. and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation for their sincere generosity and dedication in helping Bamban strengthen its health services. This is a great help to us and we hope this wouldn’t be the first and last,” the mayor said.
